Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26 this year. Cleveland schools close Wednesday, November 25 through Friday, November 27, so Monday and Tuesday (November 23 and 24) are still regular school days. If you’re booking a flight or a long drive, don’t plan to leave early unless your child’s school says it’s okay. Some districts close the whole week, so check the calendar of any relatives’ schools too. Use the countdown above to see how many days are left.

Winter break runs from Monday, December 21, 2026 through Friday, January 1, 2027, and students go back on Monday, January 4. The last day of school before it is Friday, December 18. Christmas is right in the middle, and all facilities are closed December 23 to 26. That’s two full weeks, so childcare planning matters here. Check the counter above for the days left.

Spring break is Monday, March 29 through Friday, April 2, 2027, and classes start again on Monday, April 5. Easter is Sunday, March 28, and Good Friday (March 26) is a day off too. With the weekends on both sides, students are out from March 26 through April 4, ten days in a row. Book early, because flights and hotels get pricey around Easter.

Cleveland schools are closed on Friday, October 9, 2026, for Fall Break. That's just one day, so it works as a three-day weekend, and students are back on Monday, October 12. Don't expect a full week off like some districts give. PreK has another no-school day on Friday, October 23, so check with your child's school if they're in that grade. If you want to get away, book early, because a one-day break fills up fast.

The last day of school in Cleveland is Thursday, June 3, 2027. Memorial Day (Monday, May 31) comes just before it, so the final week is only three days long (June 1 to 3). Once the district posts its 2027-28 calendar, we’ll add the first day of the next school year here. If you’re planning camps or a family trip, June 3 is the date to build around.
