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.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) has not published a final adopted 2027-2028 calendar in this data set. This projected calendar uses M-DCPS's official 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 calendars, the checked district calendar page, Florida school-start rules, and the district's recurring Thursday-start, June-finish, and recess naming patterns.
The projection focuses on dates families search for most: first and last day, Thanksgiving Recess, Winter Recess, Spring Recess, and major legal holidays. M-DCPS has many teacher planning, district-wide professional learning, grading-period, and weekly Wednesday early-release details; those are not projected until the district publishes a 2027-2028 source.
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 2027-2028, students are scheduled to start on August 12, 2027 and finish on June 1, 2028. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Recess (November 22, 2027 - November 26, 2027), Winter Recess (December 20, 2027 - December 31, 2027), and Spring Recess (March 20, 2028 - March 24, 2028). 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 planning days and student holidays are separated from regular school days whenever the official source identifies them. If severe weather later changes the calendar, this page should be checked against the district source before families make travel, attendance, or childcare decisions.
Official-source handling: Projected from Miami-Dade County Public Schools' official 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 calendars, checked district calendar availability, Florida school-start rules, and M-DCPS's recurring Thursday-start, recess, and early-June finish patterns. 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 projected, it should be used for early planning until the district releases a final adopted calendar. User-submitted corrections are checked against official district sources before this page is updated.
This projection places the first day of school on Thursday, August 12, 2027, preserving M-DCPS's recent Thursday student-start pattern.
Thanksgiving Recess is projected for November 22-26, 2027, matching M-DCPS's recurring Monday-Friday Thanksgiving week structure.
Winter Recess is projected for December 20-31, 2027. Separate January teacher planning or professional learning days are not guessed.
Spring Recess is projected for March 20-24, 2028, continuing the district's late-March Monday-Friday recess pattern.
No. This is a projected calendar for early planning and should be replaced when M-DCPS publishes a draft or final adopted 2027-2028 calendar.
No. M-DCPS has a recurring Wednesday early-release rule for certain elementary and K-8 grades, but early-release schedules are excluded from projected calendars until an official 2027-2028 source is available.
Data Source: Projected from Miami-Dade County Public Schools' official 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 calendars, checked district calendar availability, Florida school-start rules, and M-DCPS's recurring Thursday-start, recess, and early-June finish patterns.
