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, serving approximately 180,000 students in nearly 200 schools. The district covers a 50-mile coastal corridor along Florida's Gold Coast, from Boca Raton in the south to Jupiter in the north.
Palm Beach County is distinctive among Florida districts for incorporating major Jewish High Holy Days (Rosh Hashanah) into its school calendar as an official Fall Holiday, reflecting the region's significant Jewish community. The district also offers a wide range of School Choice options, career academies in marine science, aerospace, and culinary arts, and a fully online Virtual School.
As a hurricane-prone coastal county, Palm Beach builds designated makeup days into every calendar. The 2026–2027 calendar has been officially approved by the School Board.
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 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 10, 2026 and finish on May 27, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 1, 2027), and Spring Break (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 planning days and student holidays are separated from regular school days whenever the official source identifies them. 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 2026-2027 Key Dates 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.
