Student Calendars Released 2023-24 and 2024-25

Students will start the new school year on Tuesday, August 8, 2023. The last day of school will be Wednesday, May 22, 2024.

The calendars reflect a shift to allow the fall academic semester to end prior to Winter Break. This adjustment will be academically beneficial to students, and the feedback received regarding this shift was extremely positive, with 74% of respondents in favor, as detailed below. Midterms, finals and state testing will be completed before students leave for winter break, rather than in January when they return to school after an extended break.
