Ultimately, the calendar is similar to the 2025-26 school calendar, with a few minor changes to student days off.
What you need to know
The calendar has students beginning the school year Aug. 11 and ending the year May 27, 2027.
One of the key differences in the upcoming calendar is the inclusion of three “blue star days,” dedicated to parent-teacher conferences. These days are Sept. 18, Oct. 13 and Feb. 12, 2027.
Additional notable days are a four-day Easter weekend, additional workdays at the beginning of the school year and buffer days to be used to make up for bad weather days.
How we got here
District calendars are proposed by the District Educational Improvement Committee, which consists of over 60 members, including parents, teachers, students, community members and administrators.
The DEIC Calendar Subcommittee met four times in October and November and drafted five viable calendars that complied with the District Innovation Plan.
The subcommittee moved three calendars forward for consideration to the full DEIC, which narrowed down to two draft calendars to share with the community for feedback.
