Additional conference dismissals
Elementary conference releases are November 20, 23–24 and March 17–19 at 12:30 p.m. November 20 already appears above because secondary schools also dismiss early that day.
Middle school conference releases are November 23–24 and March 17–18 at 11 a.m. Those middle-school-only conference entries do not shorten the high school day. March 19 adds an elementary release without adding another middle school conference release.

When March 24 or June 9 becomes a full day
If three weather closings occur on or before March 15, March 24 becomes a full school day and March 25 becomes an early-dismissal day. March 25 is otherwise a planned closure, while March 26–29 is a confirmed closure. Check the announced weather adjustment before arranging the spring pickup.
If snow make-ups extend the year, June 9 becomes a full day and the actual last student day has early dismissal. The calendar reserves June 10, 11, 14, 15 and 16 for later make-ups. These rules mean an old June 9 pickup reminder may need to change even when school remains open that day.
