Complete month-by-month calendar for Brevard County Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Brevard Public Schools serves approximately 74,000 students in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Cocoa, Titusville, Merritt Island, and the Space Coast communities. Brevard Public Schools serves the Space Coast region of Central Florida, home to NASA's Kennedy Space Center and numerous aerospace companies. The district leverages this proximity to offer exceptional STEM and aerospace education programs, including partnerships with NASA and SpaceX.
Brevard County's calendar is notably unique among Florida districts: it features a February Recess (mid-February) and a late Spring Recess (mid-April), rather than a single Spring Break in March like most districts. The school year also runs later, with the last day in late June.
County context: Brevard Public Schools serves families in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Cocoa, Titusville, Merritt Island, and the Space Coast communities. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 10, 2026 and finish on May 26, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 4, 2027), and Spring Break (March 22, 2027 - March 26, 2027). 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. Early release or half-day entries to watch include First Early Release Day (August 21, 2026). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Student Holiday / Teacher Workday (September 25, 2026), Student Holiday / Teacher Workday (October 12, 2026), and Student Holiday / Teacher Workday (March 19, 2027). 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 Brevard Public Schools academic calendar published on brevardschools.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.
