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 Calendars page, the district's Early Release Days page, the district's "Planning Ahead?" 2026-27 important dates sheet and the district's No Homework Nights page.

Every weekday on this page matches its date. The district's printed day counts match our own count of its calendar. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
