Complete month-by-month calendar for Palm Beach County Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
The School District of Palm Beach County is the fifth-largest school district in Florida and the tenth-largest in the United States. With approximately 180,000 students across nearly 200 schools, the district covers a vast geographic area stretching from Boca Raton in the south to Jupiter in the north — a 50-mile corridor along Florida's "Gold Coast."
Palm Beach County's calendar reflects the region's rich cultural diversity: school holidays align with several major religious observances in the fall, including Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which is notable compared to many Florida districts. The district also schedules multiple teacher planning/workdays throughout the year, providing dedicated professional development time.
As a coastal county subject to hurricane season (June–November), Palm Beach maintains comprehensive emergency preparedness plans with designated makeup days. The district also operates a well-regarded School Choice program, career academies, and the Palm Beach Virtual School for online learners.
The first day of school is Monday, August 11, 2025.
Spring Break runs from March 16–20, 2026.
Palm Beach County designates September 23 and October 2, 2025 as Fall Holidays. These dates typically coincide with major religious observances and provide students and staff with days off during the fall term.
Yes. As a coastal county highly susceptible to tropical weather, Palm Beach County builds designated hurricane makeup days into the calendar. If schools close due to severe weather, these days are used to recover instructional time. The district closely monitors weather patterns during hurricane season (June–November) and communicates closures through official channels.
The last day of school is Friday, May 29, 2026.
Palm Beach County schedules several teacher workdays throughout the year: October 17, November 11, January 5, February 18, and March 23. On these days, teachers attend professional development or complete grading, while students have the day off.
The district follows Florida’s statewide FAST assessment windows: early fall, mid-year, and spring. Schools communicate specific testing schedules to parents ahead of each testing period.
