Days off for some schools only

These are school days for everyone else, so they are not in the table or the counts above.

LAUSD early release days

The LAUSD instructional calendar prints no early release or minimum days.

Schools can still send their own early dismissal notices, so watch for those.

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 LAUSD instructional calendar prints no parent conference days. Schools set their own.
• The LAUSD instructional calendar prints no testing windows.
• Days off for some schools only: Monday, Jan. 11, schools that pick this date only. Other schools are open. The list is under Vacations and holidays.
• The last day can move. June 4 at most schools; at a school that takes Monday, Jan. 11, as its pupil-free day, Monday, June 7, becomes a school day instead. The planned last day is Friday, June 4; it can fall from Friday, June 4 to Monday, June 7.
• After the last day, the calendar still shows Pupil-free day (June 7) and Juneteenth (observed) (June 18). Students are already out.

What the district notes

• Each school may choose Monday, Jan. 11, as a pupil-free day. A school that does holds class on Monday, June 7, which makes June 7 its last day. Ask your school which it chose.
• The calendar was Board approved March 11, 2025; the version used here is the district's revision of June 9, 2026, which renames the March 31 holiday Farm Workers Day.

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 LAUSD calendar's graph edition and the LAUSD calendar page.

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.
