Month by month
Highlighted dates follow the published calendar; grouped or inferred entries are labelled. Today is determined in Eastern Time (America/New_York).
The important-date list names Wednesday, August 2 as the first student day, and the August grid agrees. August 1 is teacher planning, even though the semester table starts on that date. A similar mismatch appears in January: the holiday break ends January 5, January 8 is teacher planning, and both the list and blue grid cell put the student return on Tuesday, January 9. The semester table instead begins January 8. Use the student dates supported by the list and grid when planning the return.
September 1 needs a separate check with the district: the list calls it a teacher planning day, but the grid colors it as an ordinary school day. That Friday is left unresolved here rather than added to a guaranteed Labor Day weekend. Fall break is October 9–13, Thanksgiving is November 20–24, winter break is February 19–23 and spring break is April 2–6. The last student day is Friday, May 25. The PDF lists no early-release days or graduation dates, and its inconsistent attendance details prevent a reliable calculated annual student-day total.
Published semester figures: 92 fall / 88 spring. These are the figures printed in the academic-term block. Their sum is 180 (derived), but the block’s start dates conflict with student dates elsewhere, and September 1 attendance is unresolved. They are not presented as a reconciled annual attendance count.
