Every day with no school for students, from the first day to the last: 11 entries and 29 weekdays in all.

FUSD early release days

Eighteen early release days in all. Eight are for every school. The other 10 are for some schools only.

Where the time varies by school, your school sends its own dismissal time.

Calendar notes: what to plan around

Makeup days

Makeup day 1, Monday, April 26 (no school unless needed to make up a closed school day) and Makeup day 2, Friday, May 7 (no school unless needed to make up a closed school day).

Also worth knowing

• The district calendar prints no testing dates.
• Some days off may change: makeup day 1 (off unless needed), April 26 (no school unless the district needs it to make up a closed school day) and makeup day 2 (off unless needed), May 7 (no school unless the district needs it to make up a closed school day).
• After the last day, the calendar still shows Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (June 18). Students are already out.

First and last day of school

The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 10, 2026. The last day is Thursday, May 27, 2027, with early dismissal.

Teachers start sooner. Staff days before school run Aug. 3 to 7.

The district prints 180 instructional days across the quarters. Our count of the calendar matches.

Grading periods

FUSD grades in quarters; the first semester ends with the 2nd quarter. The calendar prints each quarter's day count.

What the district notes

• Every early release on the calendar (conference days, elementary and secondary early releases, the end of the semester and the last day) has a dismissal time that differs by school; the calendar prints none. Kindergarten students also leave early for the first four days of school.
• For the Oct. 6 to 8 conference early release, most elementary schools dismiss at 11:35 a.m. (Puente de Hózhó 12:35 p.m., Leupp 12:45 p.m.), Mount Elden and Sinagua middle schools at 12:35 p.m., Coconino and Flagstaff high schools at 12:45 p.m. and Summit High School at 12:35 p.m.
• Graduation day is Friday, May 28, the day after the last day of school.
• Two makeup days are marked: April 26 (makeup 1) and May 7 (makeup 2). The calendar leaves them out of its 180 school days, so they are days off unless the district needs them.

How we checked these dates

We read every date off the district's own calendar twice: once from the PDF's text and once from the image, cell by cell against its legend. Then we checked each one against the Spanish edition of the calendar, the FUSD District Calendar page and the district's Sept. 24, 2026 notice on the October conference early release.

Every weekday on this page matches its date. The district's printed day counts match our own count of its calendar. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
