We are excited to share the 2025-26 Academic Calendar! The calendar was created with extensive staff, student and parent input, and was approved by the Board of Education at the Dec. 17, 2024 Board meeting.

A downloadable PDF version of the calendar is available on our website. Alongside a new vertical orientation, we also want to make you aware of a few important structural changes based on staff and parent preferences stated via survey.

1. School starts on a Wednesday, due to strong parent, student and staff preference. This may not be possible every year due to state laws that dictate starting and attendance dates, but we are excited to try it for 2025-26.
2. There will not be a half-day scheduled for Valentine's Day. Our Wednesday start date needed to be accommodated with attendance days elsewhere. The typical Valentine's half-day was one of those accommodations.
3. There are no scheduled Parent/Teacher conferences during the Spring Semester. Teachers and staff will still be very communicative and available for meetings if needed at a parent's request. We are thankful for the ease of our ParentSquare platform that simplifies two-way communication to help facilitate parent-teacher connections.
4. The Friday before Spring Break will be a regular school day. Because there are no Spring Parent/Teacher conferences, that Friday did not need to be a day off in compensation for staff's conference days.
5. Not a change, but something we were working carefully to ensure: barring snow days, school still ends before Memorial Day!

Thank you to the teams of volunteers who put their heads together to discover staff and parent preferences while still creating a calendar that aligns with state statutes governing public school attendance dates. Well done, Eagles!
