The days students come to school and do not come are still the same – those did not change.  So what did change?

Conferences – the most significant change is to the conference schedule; dates, times, and type (in-person or virtual) were changed as part of a recent letter of agreement between the district and the teachers.

A few other items were added as well:  

• Kindergarten Launch on August 18 & 19, 2025

• Kindergarten Open Houses on August 21, 2025

• May 21, 2026 will be the Seniors (Class of 2026) Last Day; other students continue to June 5, 2026

REMINDER: The first day of school is Tuesday, August 26, 2025.  It will have a regular start time, and students will be dismissed 60 minutes early on the first day.  This should ease the transition from summer break and assist with transportation logistics.

The most current district calendar should now have "Updated April 10, 2025" on the bottom of the page.

The Michigan Department of Education wants to provide students the opportunity to say positive things about their teachers, so they know they’re appreciated. We’ll feature the videos on MDE platforms during May for Teacher Appreciation Month! Help students submit their videos to us!
