Draft 2025-26 Calendar
Community members are invited to review and provide input on the draft 2025-26 academic calendar. While this calendar is in its earliest stages and aligns closely with this year’s calendar, it serves as a starting point for discussion and refinement. Responses submitted prior to noon on January 10 will be shared with the Bondurant-Farrar Board of Education in advance of their January 13 meeting.
Our calendar development process follows a combination of state law, district policies, and the master teacher contract, which require the following:
-
School can start no earlier than August 23
-
178 student days
-
10 professional development days
In addition, past district practices and preferences shape the calendar, including:
- Two 4-hour evenings of parent/teacher conferences in both fall and spring.
- No school the Friday following parent/teacher conferences in both fall and spring.
- No school the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving.
- No school on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
- A one-week spring break in March to align with other area school districts, colleges, and universities.
- Commencement held the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend.
- If possible, concluding the school year before Memorial Day weekend.
We value your input as we work to finalize a calendar that meets the needs of students, staff, and families while complying with state laws and district regulations.
