To our students, families, staff, and community partners, thank you for being such an important part of our district. We are grateful for the care, support, and connection you bring to our schools, and we hope this winter break offers time to rest, recharge, and enjoy meaningful moments with the people you love.
All schools and district offices will be closed during the break. Students will return to school on January 7, 2026, and we are excited to welcome you back in the new year.

At #MySDIRC, we’re committed to providing enriched, accelerated, and engaging learning opportunities for all students, while celebrating and supporting those with advanced academic needs. Thank you to our teachers, specialists, and families for helping every learner reach their unique potential!
