ÁùºÏ±¦µä ISD trustees approved the calendar for the 2024-25 school year during its regular voting Dec.14.
The final calendar incorporates community feedback requesting additional faith based and cultural observances and staff development days:
- This includes two additional student holidays/staff development days on Oct. 14 and Jan. 29 and an additional holiday for Diwali on Nov. 1.
It also pushes back spring break a week later, March 17-21, 2025, to ensure we’re aligned with ÁùºÏ±¦µä Community College for students who are dual-enrolled.
The first day of class for students will be Aug. 20 and the last day of class will be May. 29, 2025. The total number of student instructional days is 169.
Background
