The Board at their March 8, 2011 meeting conducted a final review and approved the School Calendar for the 2011-12 school year.  Per Board Policies 6111 & 6115a, the calendar has 180 student attendance days, start and ending dates, vacation periods, and all legal holidays  (indicated with red boxes) and local holidays (indicated with orange boxes). Minimum days are used for staff training and planning (indicated with yellow boxes). In the past, Elk Hills School District’s calendar has been prepared in alignment with Taft High School District’s calendar to support families with students attending both school districts.  With this in mind, the calendar has different start/end dates and has a different winter holiday vacation period which is now the last week of December and first week of January.
