School Calendar & Schedules
The District publishes an official school calendar each year with key dates such as the first and last day of school, holidays, institute days, and early dismissals. The current calendar is posted on the District website. Any updates, including emergency days or changes, will be communicated promptly.
Each school also shares its own daily schedules, events, and special calendars through school websites, newsletters, and online calendars.
The annual calendar is set by the Board of Education in accordance with Illinois School Code and includes the legally required number of student attendance days. Families are expected to plan vacations and appointments around the school calendar to limit absences. Regular attendance is required by law and is essential to student success.
For daily start and end times, early release schedules, or building-specific events, please refer to communications from your child’s school.
