A quick note for families
π Good to know
Please note that this district builds several Possible hurricane make-up days into the calendar (Oct 12, Nov 11, Jan 4, Feb 15, Mar 26, and Apr 23). If schools close for a hurricane, these days will be used for instruction. Also, the last day of school (May 27, 2027) is a two-hour early release day.
π¦ Thanksgiving Break
Thereβs no school from November 21 through November 29, 2026, which is nine days counting both weekends. Students go back on Monday, November 30. If youβre flying, book early, since that week is one of the busiest of the year. One thing to watch: November 11 is a possible hurricane make-up day, so check it before you plan an early trip. Otherwise, parents and teachers both get a real breather before December.
βοΈ Winter Break
Winter break runs from December 19, 2026, through January 3, 2027. Thatβs about two weeks, and the Christmas holiday falls inside it. January 4 is a possible hurricane make-up day. If the district hasnβt needed it, students stay home that Monday, and classes start again on Tuesday, January 5. Check that return date before you buy tickets, since a storm earlier in the year could change it.
πΈ Spring Break
Spring break is March 13 through March 21, 2027, and students are back on Monday, March 22. Thatβs a short week to settle into before the final stretch of the year. Look at March 26, the Friday of that first week back. Itβs one of the districtβs possible hurricane make-up days, so donβt extend your trip through that Friday without checking. April 23 is another possible make-up day later in the spring.
βοΈ Summer Break
The last day of school is Thursday, May 27, 2027, and itβs a two-hour early release. Plan pickup, childcare and any end-of-year plans around that earlier dismissal. Memorial Day, May 31, falls after the last day, so thereβs no long weekend to plan around before summer starts. Camps and summer programs often fill up well before school ends, so itβs worth signing up early.
