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.
County context: Palm Beach County Public Schools serves families across Palm Beach County, where the district calendar is the practical baseline for school-year planning. For 2025-2026, students are scheduled to start on August 11, 2025 and finish on May 29, 2026. The main family planning blocks are Fall Holidays (October 20, 2025 - October 24, 2025), 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: 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 Pre-Planning Day (August 8, 2025), Teacher Planning Day (No School) (October 17, 2025), Teacher Planning Day (No School) (January 5, 2026), and Veterans Day / Teacher Workday (November 11, 2025 (Tue)). 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 Palm Beach County Public Schools academic calendar published on palmbeachschools.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.

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 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.
