2025-26 District Calendar Revised and Approved
February 11, 2025
The school board approved the 2025-26 school calendar on Monday, Feb. 10. The calendar is developed by a calendar committee made up of staff and administrators from elementary, middle school and high school based on contract language and survey information from district staff.
Things to note:
- School will begin after Labor Day to allow for maximum Phase 2 construction completion.
- Kindergarten will have a staggered start on week one. K families will receive more information from their school.
- Based on staff and family feedback, there will be no late-start days for PLCs.
- Conferences for all levels will be held in the evenings to accommodate low family attendance during morning sessions.
- A two week winter break will help facilitate MHS Phase 2 moves into new learning spaces.
- PD days are reflected in the calendar and changes to the structure of PD days (flex days for example) may be addressed in the negotiation of the 25-27 Teacher Master Agreement as the current Flex Days MOU expires at the end of this contract year and is not reflected in the calendar.
- Three weather makeup days are built into the schedule at the end of the year if needed as eLearning may not be used for every snow day.
- Graduation is scheduled for Friday, May 29 at 7:00 p.m.
