Complete month-by-month calendar for Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
The Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) is the third-largest public school district in the United States and the largest in Florida. With approximately 345,000 students in more than 500 schools and centers, M-DCPS serves one of the most linguistically diverse communities in the nation — over 100 languages are spoken, and roughly 60% of students are from Spanish-speaking households.
The district is widely recognized for its magnet school system (one of the nation's largest), career and technical education academies, dual-language immersion programs, and multiple International Baccalaureate (IB) sites. M-DCPS also partners with Miami Dade College's dual-enrollment program, allowing high school students to earn college credit at no cost.
Located in one of the most hurricane-exposed regions in the U.S., the district builds severe-weather makeup days into every calendar. The 2026–2027 calendar was approved by the School Board on December 9, 2025.
County context: Miami-Dade County Public Schools serves families across Miami-Dade County, where the district calendar is the practical baseline for school-year planning. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 13, 2026 and finish on June 3, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Recess (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Recess (December 21, 2026 - January 1, 2027), and Spring Recess (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: 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. 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) (August 10, 2026), Professional Learning Day (No School) (August 11, 2026), Teacher Planning Day (No School) (August 12, 2026), and Teacher Planning Day (No School) (September 21, 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.
Official-source handling: This calendar is compiled from the official Miami-Dade County Public Schools academic calendar published on dadeschools.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.
