Pickup and conferences are separate appointments
On November 23, elementary conferences are in the evening and middle school conferences in the afternoon. On November 24, elementary conferences are in the afternoon and middle school conferences in the evening. Students still leave at noon or 11:30 a.m. on both days.
Spring elementary conferences are April 22 in the evening and April 23 in the afternoon, with noon student dismissal both days. Middle school conferences are April 22 in the afternoon after 11:30 a.m. dismissal. Arrange care from student dismissal until your appointment, rather than treating the conference time as the end of school.

Breaks that follow the shorter days
Students are off November 25–30 after the conference half days and return December 1. Winter break is December 21–January 1, followed by a January 4 return.
The planned March 25–29 spring break includes two possible make-up dates. The published make-up order is February 15, March 25, March 29, then June 8. The scheduled June 7 finish for K–11 and the spring-break edges should stay flexible until the district confirms weather-related changes.
