Here comes the busy month of October right around the corner 🗓️🎃

Just a reminder rather than releasing one 12 month calendar for the entire year, we'll be sharing one month at a time. We take pride in keeping our families informed with the most accurate and up-to-date information possible. As schedules change and new events are added, this helps ensure you're always working from the latest version.

Each calendar will be available to download and print in both 8.5" x 11" and 11" x 18" formats, making it easy to hang on the fridge, in the office, or wherever your family keeps track of the busy school year!

You can always find this calendar and the printable versions @ https://www.usd495.com/page/2026-27-school-year-calendar.
