Complete month-by-month calendar for Pasco County Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Pasco County Schools serves approximately 78,000 students in Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel, New Port Richey, Dade City, and surrounding communities north of Tampa. Pasco County is one of Florida's fastest-growing districts, fueled by rapid suburban development in areas like Wesley Chapel and Land O' Lakes. The district offers career academies, Cambridge International programs, and a growing number of STEM-focused schools.
Notably, Pasco County starts school slightly later than most Florida districts (August 13 instead of August 11). The district also schedules a late Spring Break (March 30 – April 3), which is unique in the Tampa Bay area. Secondary schools have designated early release days throughout the year.
County context: Pasco County Schools serves families in Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel, New Port Richey, Dade City, and surrounding communities. For 2025-2026, students are scheduled to start on August 11, 2025 and finish on May 29, 2026. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 24, 2025 - November 28, 2025), Winter Break (December 22, 2025 - January 5, 2026), and Spring Break (March 30, 2026 - April 3, 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 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 Pasco County Schools academic calendar published on pasco.k12.fl.us. 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.

Florida's FAST assessments are administered in three windows: fall (September), midyear (January), and spring (April–May). Pasco County Schools follows the statewide testing calendar set by the Florida Department of Education.
