SDPBC vacations and holidays, 2026-27

Every day with no school for students, from the first day to the last: 13 entries and 30 weekdays in all.

SDPBC early release days

The 2026-27 calendar prints no early release or half days. Every school day on it is a full day.

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

Makeup days

The calendar names no makeup days. Emergency makeup days are set by the superintendent, as state law on instructional time requires. If school closes for weather, the district announces how the day is made up.

Also worth knowing

• The calendar prints no parent-teacher conference days. Schools set their own.
• The calendar prints no testing windows.
• After the last day, the calendar still shows teacher workday (May 28), Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (observed) (June 17). 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.

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

The district prints 179 instructional days across the quarters. Our count of the calendar matches.

Grading periods

Middle and high schools grade in the four quarters below (semesters: August 10 to December 18 and January 5 to May 27). Elementary schools grade in trimesters: August 10 to November 2 (58 days), November 4 to February 12 (55 days) and February 16 to May 27 (66 days). Report card dates are TBD on the calendar.

• Report card distribution dates are listed as TBD on the calendar for both elementary and secondary schools.
• District offices are closed every Friday in July 2026 and June 2027, and on Friday, March 26, 2027.

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 2026-2027 Key Dates page, the district's Student Attendance Calendar and the district's 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.
