2026 - 2027 Instructional Calendar

We want to hear from you!

The 26-27 Calendar Committee met and created three draft calendars for consideration for the 26-27 school year. Please review all three draft calendars and the comparison page, then vote for the calendar you prefer; all are linked below.

Please keep the following in mind: 

  • Teacher Days - 187 STATE Required
  • Student Minutes - 75,600 STATE Required
  • 2 days of "banked minutes" - STATE Required
    • Banked minutes are used for "bad weather days," when we release early for homecoming, playoff games, etc. 
    • If a district runs out of "banked minutes" and the student minutes do not equal the STATE requirement, we have to make up time

The calendar committee did a phenomenal job of considering STATE requirements, working to ensure every month had at least one "long weekend" for both students and staff, and balancing student minutes vs teacher days. 

The survey to cast your vote will close on Friday, February 6, 2026.
