Local Calendar Notes for Families

County context: Jefferson County School District serves families in Monticello and surrounding communities. For 2025-2026, students are scheduled to start on August 11, 2025 and finish on May 22, 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: Notable local calendar items include Good Friday (April 3, 2026 (Fri)) and Emancipation Day (May 20, 2026 (Wed)). No recurring early-release entry is listed in the student-facing data used for this page. Teacher planning days and student holidays are separated from regular school days whenever the official source identifies them. 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 Jefferson County School District academic calendar published on jeffersonschooldistrict.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.
