2026-27 At-a-Glance Calendar
The 2026–27 school calendar includes an important shift designed to better align our community and enhance student, family, and educator experience.
- We are moving to one common Last Day of School prior to the Memorial Day Weekend, with Tuesday, May 25, 2027, marking the conclusion of the academic year.
- School celebrations, programs, and end-of-year events—including moving-up ceremonies—may take place in the couple of days immediately following.
- Graduation will be held on the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend, a change that allows all faculty and staff to participate in this important milestone.
- Ending the academic year a few days earlier also opens space for four consecutive Professional Development Days for educators in the week following Memorial Day, supporting deep, collaborative, teacher-led learning.
- Families are encouraged to review the At-a-Glance Calendar for key days off, holidays, and the first and last days of school as they plan for the year ahead.
