What the district notes

• Three emergency days are built in: May 27, June 1 and May 28. They are days off unless the district closes for emergencies; each closing day used turns one of them into a school day, in that order.
• The first day, Friday, Sept. 4, is a full day for most students in grades 1-8. Pre-K and kindergarten may vary by school. At Albany High, grade 9 attends in the morning and grades 10-12 attend only in the afternoon.
• Albany High: regular classes end Monday, June 14. Regents testing follows, and only students who are testing need to report. Graduation is Sunday, June 27.
• Family conferences: the evenings of Oct. 22 and Feb. 4, and the afternoons of Oct. 23 and Feb. 5 (no school for students those two Fridays).

How we checked these dates

We read every date off the district's own calendar twice: once from the PDF's text and once from the image, cell by cell against its legend. Then we checked each one against the district's Communications page (print calendars), the district's online calendar and the district's Aug. 12, 2026 news post.

Every weekday on this page matches its date. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
