Academic year at a glance
Term beginnings are green and term endings are red. No-school days and holidays are blue. The first day of school is marked with dark green diagonal lines. Progress report and report card dates use a lavender line along the bottom of the date, so a term-ending date remains red. Today is bright yellow using Arizona time. Summer Break remains one continuous period without separate holiday highlighting.
