Families can use the calendar to plan childcare, travel, appointments, and school-related commitments across the year.
Prepare for Thanksgiving: The district’s Thanksgiving break runs for a full Monday-through-Friday week in November. This can be useful when planning family visits or travel.
Check the winter return date: Winter break ends on Friday, January 1, 2027, but students do not return until Tuesday, January 5, 2027, because Monday, January 4, is a non-student workday.
Allow for spring scheduling: Spring break is followed by another non-student day on Monday, March 29, 2027. Check the calendar before booking trips or arranging care for the return week.
Track grading deadlines: Elementary families should note trimester dates, while secondary families should track quarter and semester endings. These milestones can help with progress checks and academic planning.
Confirm report-card dates: The district calendar marks report-card distribution dates as TBD, so check school communications for the final schedule.
Check school-specific information: Bell schedules, extracurricular activities, and other school events may differ. Contact the school directly when planning appointments or activities that depend on exact times.
Keeping the official district calendar alongside your family calendar can make it easier to distinguish school breaks from teacher workdays and district-office closures.
