Complete month-by-month calendar for Bay County Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Bay County School District has a board-approved 2027-2028 student academic calendar. Students start on August 10, 2027 and the last day for all students is May 25, 2028, with early release listed on the final student day.
Major breaks include Thanksgiving Break (November 22-26, 2027), Winter Break (December 20, 2027 - January 3, 2028), and Spring Break (March 13-17, 2028). Several teacher PLC planning days are marked as possible storm makeup days if needed.
County context: Bay County School District serves families across Bay County, where the district calendar is the practical baseline for school-year planning. For 2027-2028, students are scheduled to start on August 10, 2027 and finish on May 25, 2028. The main family planning blocks are Fall Break (October 8, 2027), Thanksgiving Break (November 22, 2027 - November 26, 2027), Winter Break (December 20, 2027 - January 3, 2028), and Spring Break (March 13, 2028 - March 17, 2028). Parents can use this view for travel windows, shared-custody exchanges, childcare coverage, after-school activities, and comparing district days off with work schedules.
What to watch: Notable local calendar items include Fall Break (October 8, 2027), Columbus Day (October 11, 2027), and Good Friday (April 14, 2028). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release - high school students only (May 24, 2028) and Last Day / Early Release (May 25, 2028). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Teacher PLC Planning Day - possible storm makeup day (September 29, 2027), Teacher PLC Planning Day - possible storm makeup day (October 27, 2027), Records Workday - no school for students (January 3, 2028), and Teacher PLC Planning Day - possible storm makeup day (February 2, 2028). Weather or makeup-day language is preserved in the page notes when the district publishes it, which matters for hurricane-season planning and emergency childcare coverage.
