Two different shortened days
For November 23, use the school’s normal dismissal time and its early-release notice. For June 4, arrange a meal after school as well as an earlier pickup or return home. The no-lunch note belongs specifically to the scheduled final half day.

Conference days need different care plans
November 23 has K–8 conferences after the early dismissal, plus K–6 evening conferences. Grades 9–12 staff have professional development. November 24 is a full student closure for K–12 conferences, including 7–12 evening appointments.
Students are also off November 25 for work collaboration and November 26–27 for Thanksgiving. Classes resume November 30. In spring, March 12 has no kindergarten classes for conferences; that entry does not close school for older students.

Keep the no-lunch day separate from make-up dates
The listed final student day is June 4. Weather make-up days #6–10 are reserved for June 7–11 and may extend the year if used. A reserved make-up date is not an extra scheduled school day until the district activates it.
The calendar attaches “half day, no lunch” to June 4. It does not give a replacement final-day meal or dismissal plan for a weather-adjusted finish. If attendance moves, use the district’s revised notice for both pickup and lunch arrangements.
