Glades County School District starts the official 2026-2027 student calendar on August 10, 2026 and ends classes with an early release on May 28, 2027. Major student breaks include Fall Break on October 12-16, Thanksgiving Break on November 23-27, Winter Break from December 21 through January 1, and Spring Break on March 22-26.
County context: Glades County School District serves families across Glades 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 Fall Break (October 12, 2026 - October 16, 2026), 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 Fall Break (October 12, 2026 - October 16, 2026), Chalo Nitka (March 5, 2027), Open House MHES/SGS 5:00-7:00 (August 6, 2026), and Open House MHHS 6:00-8:00 (August 6, 2026). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release for Students ONLY (May 28, 2027). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Teacher Work Day (No Students) (January 4, 2027) and Teacher Work Day (No Students) (March 29, 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 Glades County Schools 2026-2027 188 Day Calendar. 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.
