A useful reading note for this 2026-2027 calendar: Winter Break appears in more than one block, so the dates are kept in chronological order rather than merged into a single label. Winter Break crosses the calendar year from December 21, 2026 through January 4, 2027, which is the date range to check when planning the January return. The final student date, May 25, 2027, is also labeled Modified Dismissal MS/HS.
