Mark your calendars: Monday, Aug. 14 will be the first day of classes for Pleasanton Unified School District students next school year.
The Pleasanton school board adopted the 2017-18 school year calendar during its regular meeting Tuesday evening. District officials say it is very similar to this year’s schedule, except for the placement of one staff development day.
The 2016-17 calendar represented a change for the district, with the school board shifting the start and end of school up by one week and putting first semester high school final exams before winter break instead of after. That decision was made with input from a calendar committee and the roughly 3,600 people who took a district-wide survey about the issue.
For next school year, the first semester will again conclude before winter break, on Dec. 22. Schools will be closed for the holidays between Dec. 25 and Jan. 8.
The last day of school will be June 1, 2018.
Students will have 180 days of instruction, and there will be 185 teacher work days, according to the calendar.
Other notable dates include Thanksgiving break (Nov. 20-24) and spring break (April 2-6, 2018).
