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 district-wide.
BCPS includes Diwali as an official school holiday and builds up to five severe weather makeup days into the calendar. The 2027–2028 calendar was approved by the School Board in December 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 2027-2028, students are scheduled to start on August 9, 2027 and finish on May 31, 2028. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 22, 2027 - November 26, 2027), Winter Break (December 20, 2027 - December 31, 2027), 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 Diwali (October 29, 2027). No recurring early-release entry is listed in the student-facing data used for this page. Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Teacher Planning Day (No School) (October 15, 2027), Teacher Planning Day (No School) (January 3, 2028), and Teacher Planning Day (No School) (March 20, 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.
Official-source handling: This calendar is compiled from the official Broward County Public Schools 2027-2028 academic calendar approved by the School Board in December 2025. 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.
