📅 It's almost here!
Be on the lookout for a monthly release of our USD 495 Calendar!
This year, we're doing things a little differently! Rather than releasing one calendar for the entire year, we'll be sharing a new calendar each month. 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!
We're excited to kick off an amazing 2026-27 school year, and August is packed with important dates and exciting events.
You can always find this calendar and the printable versions @ https://www.usd495.com/page/2026-27-school-year-calendar. #larnedpride

Please watch for updates through our social media pages, ParentSquare notifications, and email. We will announce as soon as online enrollment is available.
We look forward to welcoming all of our students back and getting everyone ready for a great 2026-2027 school year. Thank you for your patience and continued support of USD 495! #larnedpride
