District Governing Board adopts three-years of school calendars

The District Governing Board approved school calendars for the next three years during a board meeting Sept. 6, 2017.

The calendars reflect the format most requested by the community and staff in recent surveys, keeping the district on the current modified year-round calendar that has been in place. The board voted at a previous meeting to maintain that format.
The uploaded calendars include the first and last days of school, as well as the vacation schedules. In the next few months, early release days for professional development and parent-teacher conferences will be determined and added.

The approved calendars can be found on the district calendar page.
