Calendar Choices

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK
Families, students, and staff are invited to review the three proposed academic calendars for the 2026-27 school year. Each draft features slight variations. Your input is essential in helping us finalize a calendar that best supports our school community. Please take a moment to review the options and share your thoughts by Friday, Feb. 7, using the calendar feedback survey.

Draft Calendar A (click to view the calendar)

  • Most similar to the 2025-26 calendar.
  • Orientation Day on Tuesday, Aug. 11, for grades 1st-6th, 7th, 9th, and kindergarteners with last names A-K
  • Wednesday, Aug. 12, all above grades come to school, and 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, and kindergarteners with last names L-Z
  • Professional Development days are on Fridays and Instructional Planning days are on Mondays. This eliminates three-day weeks (except for in January), and keeps non-student contact days more consecutive instead of spread out throughout the month.
  • All Trade days (non-student contact days) are on Fridays.
  • Spring break closely aligns with some neighboring districts.
  • School ends before Memorial Day in May.

Draft Calendar B (click to view the calendar)

  • Orientation Day on Tuesday, Aug. 11, for grades 1st-6th, 7th, 9th, and kindergarteners with last names A-K
  • Wednesday, Aug. 12, all above grades come to school, and 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, and kindergarteners with last names L-Z
  • Non-student contact days (Professional Development, Instructional Planning, and Trade) are scheduled almost every other Friday, so families can prepare for non-student contact days every other Friday, in most months (except August, December, January, and April)
  • Spring break closely aligns with some neighboring districts.
  • School ends before Memorial Day in May.

Draft Calendar C (click to view the calendar)

  • Orientation Day on Tuesday, Aug. 18, for grades 1st-6th, 7th, 9th, and kindergarteners with last names A-K
  • Wednesday, Aug. 19, all above grades come to school, and 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, and kindergarteners with last names L-Z
  • Starting later in August helps optimize the performance of our HVAC systems and ensures a more comfortable environment for teachers and students during the increasingly warmer temperatures of late summer.
  • Non-student contact days (Professional Development, Instructional Planning, and Trade) are scheduled almost every other Friday, so families can prepare for non-student contact days every other Friday in most months (except August, December, January, and April). This could be changed to match Calendar A, if preferred.
  • Spring Break aligns with larger neighboring districts.
  • School ends first week of June.

Welcome to Monterey Community School!

As a school, we empower students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. Our practice is based on principles of personal, interpersonal, and organizational effectiveness, and upon the powerful premise that every child has genius inside of them and the ability to be a leader. In partnership with the Leader in Me program, Monterey students learn the skills necessary to become self-reliant, take initiative, be considerate of others, find creative solutions, value differences, and live a balanced life. Our students succeed in life, school, and beyond.

Every day matters in Mapleton! Good attendance plays a crucial role in a student’s educational journey, serving as a key predictor of academic achievement and social development. In Mapleton, it's our goal to have students attend school at least 95% of the time – missing no more than nine days a year for any reason.
