The transition back to the classroom begins earlier for district staff. New teachers will report for orientation starting Monday, July 31, while returning faculty and staff are scheduled to begin their prep work on Tuesday, August 1, 2023.
The approved calendar highlights several key breaks for families to coordinate their schedules. Labor Day is set for Monday, September 4, 2023.

As the semester reaches its conclusion, the Fall Semester will end on Thursday, December 14, 2023, with an early release day.

The development of the calendar was a collaborative effort led by the District-wide Calendar Committee, chaired by Dr. Cody Blair, the Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning. The committee, tasked with representing the diverse needs of the district, consisted of parents, community members, teachers, and administrators.
According to district officials, the group held meetings throughout November and December 2022 to craft two distinct calendar options. These proposals were subsequently released for public review. The district reported a robust response, receiving over 15,000 survey submissions from the community. This feedback was instrumental in the Board’s final decision-making process.
