LGSUHSD vacations and holidays, 2026-27

Every day with no school for students, from the first day to the last: 11 entries and 32 weekdays in all.

LGSUHSD early release days

The district calendar prints no early release or minimum days. Finals weeks follow special bell schedules set by each high school.

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

Weeks with fewer than five school days

Teacher workdays: no school for students

Three of the days off are staff days. Teachers work; students stay home. Plan child care as you would for a holiday.

• Monday, Oct. 12: staff development day
• Friday, Dec. 18: teacher workday
• Monday, March 8: staff development day

Makeup days

The calendar names no makeup days. If school closes for weather, the district announces how the day is made up.

Also worth knowing

• The calendars print no parent-teacher conference days. Schools set their own.
• After the last day, the calendar still shows teacher workday (June 4). Students are already out.

First and last day of school

The first day of school is Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026. The last day is Thursday, June 3, 2027.

Teachers start sooner. Staff days before school run Aug. 10 to 11.

Grading periods

Both high schools split each semester into three grading periods. The school calendars print each period's last day; each period starts on the next school day. The spring semester starts Jan. 4.

What the district notes

• Both high schools run the same dates. Los Gatos High uses an Orange/Black and Saratoga High a Red/Blue rotating bell schedule; each school's calendar marks which day is which.
• The February break joins Washington Day (Feb. 15), a recess (Feb. 16 to 18) and Lincoln Day observed (Feb. 19).
• Graduation: Saratoga High on Thursday, June 3, and Los Gatos High on Friday, June 4, a staff workday with no classes.
• The district's Post Secondary Program at West Valley College has its own calendar.

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 LGSUHSD Calendars/Schedules page, the Los Gatos High School Orange/Black calendar and the Saratoga High School Red/Blue calendar.

Every weekday on this page matches its date. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
