Named recess vs. days off
Some calendars end the named recess on December 31 and list New Year’s Day separately. The table shows the named break; the notes say when an extra holiday follows.
Staff days after the break
Professional development and teacher workdays in early January are not student days. “Back to school” is the first student day when the calendar states it.
Calendar types differ
Year-round tracks, ADSY campuses and charter schools can follow other calendars. Rows say which calendar they cover.
