Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for November 4 (evening) and November 5 (daytime), with no student classes on either date. Thanksgiving recess runs November 22–26. Winter recess begins December 23, 2027. January 5 is a separate school-improvement day without student attendance, so students return Thursday, January 6, 2028.
Tuesday, March 21, 2028, is an Election Day remote-learning day, not a holiday. Spring break begins March 27, and students return April 4. Later that month, Good Friday on April 14 and a district institute day on April 17 create a separate four-day weekend without student classes.
