At-A-Glance Academic Calendars

These one-page calendars list vacations, holidays, conference days, and other special days during the school year. Please note that these calendars may change if the State of Ohio alters its mandated testing schedule or if it becomes necessary to schedule makeup instructional days due to school closings caused by severe weather or public calamity. Makeup days would be scheduled during spring vacation, on Good Friday, and/or the Clerical Day at the end of the school year.
