Month by month
Highlighted dates follow the published calendar; grouped or inferred entries are labelled. Today is determined in Eastern Time (America/New_York).
The year opens Monday, August 2, and the fall semester runs through Friday, December 17. Fall break moves to October 11–15, a week later than the previous calendar, while Thanksgiving still brings a full school week off, November 22–26. The holiday break begins December 20 and ends December 31. Monday, January 3 is a teacher planning day, so students return Tuesday, January 4. Keep that extra day without students in mind when arranging care after the holidays.
The spring semester includes Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 17, winter break February 21–25 and spring break April 3–7. Each of the three named fall, winter and spring breaks covers five school weekdays. The last student day is Wednesday, May 24; May 25–26 are teacher post-planning days. The semester table lists 89 fall school days and 91 spring school days, which add to 180. Unlike the 2026–27 version, this PDF has no early-release category or shortened-day markings. It also gives no graduation schedule, so use later school announcements for ceremony arrangements.
