Complete month-by-month calendar for Bradford County Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Bradford County School District serves approximately 3,500 students in Starke and surrounding communities in North-Central Florida. Bradford County is a small district centered around Starke, known for the annual Bradford County Fair and the Strawberry Festival in nearby Plant City connections. The district starts on August 12 and has a late Spring Break (March 23-27).
County context: Bradford County School District serves families in Starke and surrounding communities. For 2025-2026, students are scheduled to start on August 12, 2025 and finish on May 28, 2026. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 24, 2025 - November 28, 2025), Winter Break (December 22, 2025 - January 2, 2026), and Spring Break (March 23, 2026 - March 27, 2026). 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: The most important local differences from a generic statewide calendar are the district's own break placement, board-approved student holidays, and any campus-facing schedule notes published by the district. No recurring early-release entry is listed in the student-facing data used for this page. Teacher planning days and student holidays are separated from regular school days whenever the official source identifies them. 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.
Official-source handling: This calendar is compiled from the official Bradford County School District academic calendar published on bradfordschools.org. We manually review first-party district material, screen it for student-facing dates, and organize it into key dates, calendar grids, downloadable files, and printable summaries. Because this page is marked official, families can use it as the main planning view while still checking the district source for late revisions. User-submitted corrections are checked against official district sources before this page is updated.
