Madison County School District serves approximately 2,500 students in Madison and surrounding communities in North Florida. Madison County uses a unique staggered start for the school year: PreK, K, 1st, 7th, and 9th graders start on August 11, while all other grades begin on August 13. This allows new students to acclimate. The district's last day varies by grade level. Seniors finish May 15, while the general last day is May 21.
County context: Madison County School District serves families in Madison and surrounding communities. For 2025-2026, students are scheduled to start on August 11, 2025 and finish on May 21, 2026. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 24, 2025 - November 28, 2025), Winter Break (December 22, 2025 - January 7, 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 End of 1st 9 Weeks (October 13, 2025) and Non-Work Day for All (except 12-month) (April 3, 2026).

Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Homecoming/Teacher Workday (No Students) (October 17, 2025), Teachers/Paras/Cafeteria Workdays (January 5, 2026), Teachers/Paras/Cafeteria Workdays (January 6, 2026), and Teacher/Staff Workday (Bus Drivers & Monitors Off) (April 6, 2026). 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.
