Complete month-by-month calendar for Broward County Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
The Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) is the sixth-largest school district in the United States and the second-largest in Florida. With approximately 260,000 students across more than 300 schools and centers, BCPS covers 1,223 square miles of Southeast Florida — from Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood to Coral Springs, Weston, and Pembroke Pines.
The district is well known for its magnet and Cambridge International programs, career academies (including aviation and marine science tracks), and a fully online Virtual School option. BCPS also offers the Children's Services Council–funded after-school enrichment programs at hundreds of sites district-wide.
Located in hurricane-prone Southeast Florida, the district builds up to five severe weather makeup days into the calendar. The 2026–2027 calendar was approved by the School Board on December 18, 2025.
County context: Broward County Public Schools serves families across Broward County, where the district calendar is the practical baseline for school-year planning. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 10, 2026 and finish on May 28, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 1, 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: Notable local calendar items include Yom Kippur (September 21, 2026) and Eid al-Fitr (March 10, 2027). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release Day (October 9, 2026), Early Release Day / Semester 1 Ends (December 18, 2026), Early Release Day (February 12, 2027), and Early Release Day / End of 3rd 9 Weeks (March 18, 2027). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Teacher Planning Day (No School) (October 12, 2026), Teacher Planning Day (No School) (November 3, 2026), Teacher Planning Day (No School) (January 4, 2027), and Teacher Planning Day (No School) (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 Broward County Public Schools academic calendar published on browardschools.com.
