Notes:
Events other than regular school days are subject to changes and additions.

The Austin Gifted Spring Gala is not yet scheduled, but is probably early May.

Field Studies are conducted off campus on Jewish holidays. These studies are connected to classroom studies and are considered a regular school day. Students are expected to attend unless their family has a conflict with religious services.
