Per the district's approved 2026-27 academic calendar, students in kindergarten through 5th grade, along with 6th grade and 9th grade, begin the year on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Students in 7th, 8th, and 10th through 12th grades follow a day later, on Thursday, August 13, 2026. The split follows grade bands — it groups the youngest students together with the two grades that typically mark a transition into a new building (6th and 9th), while the remaining middle and high school grades start the following day — but the calendar itself does not specify a school-to-school feeder relationship behind that grouping, so this piece doesn't assume one.</p>
