Also worth knowing
- School is open on a federal holiday: Columbus Day (Monday, Oct. 12). Banks, post offices and many offices close; school does not.
- The student calendar prints no testing dates.
- 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 Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026. The last day is Wednesday, May 26, 2027, with early dismissal.
What the district notes
- Every Wednesday is a minimum day for teacher collaboration, including the first day (Aug. 12) and the last day (May 26). The calendar does not print dismissal times; check your school's bell schedule.
- Monday, March 29, the day after spring break ends, is a non-student day, so spring break runs from March 20 through March 29 with weekends.
- The first day of summer school is to be announced.

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 GFUSD student calendar and the GFUSD School Year Calendar for Parents and Students page.
Every weekday on this page matches its date. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
