Complete month-by-month calendar for Charlotte County Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Charlotte County Public Schools serves approximately 19,000 students across 19 schools in Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Englewood, and surrounding communities in Southwest Florida. The district is a close-knit community that prides itself on strong academic outcomes and community engagement.
Charlotte County was significantly impacted by Hurricane Ian in September 2022, which caused widespread damage to school facilities and displaced many families. The district has since undergone major reconstruction and continues to strengthen its emergency preparedness protocols. Charlotte County offers Cambridge International programs, career and technical academies, and dual enrollment partnerships with Florida SouthWestern State College. Parents should monitor yourcharlotteschools.net for updates.
County context: Charlotte County Public Schools serves families in Southwest Florida. For 2025-2026, students are scheduled to start on August 11, 2025 and finish on May 29, 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 16, 2026 - March 20, 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. Early release or half-day entries to watch include Professional Learning Early Release (November 12, 2025). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Professional Learning Early Release (November 12, 2025). 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 Charlotte County Public Schools academic calendar published on yourcharlotteschools.net. 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.
