School Calendar & Summer

The 2026–27 calendar began August 10th. It includes holidays, teacher inservice days, and a scheduled two-week summer closure in 2027 before the next year begins.

Summer is part of the school year.

Children keep the familiar rooms, teachers, yard, and daily rhythm through most of the summer. The calendar below is the current source of truth for holidays and closures.

The school closes for two scheduled weeks from July 26th through August 6th, 2027. The first week is for campus maintenance; the second is for teacher inservice and training.

The new school year begins Monday, August 9th, 2027.
