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 10-11). The 2026-2027 Student/Teacher Calendar was Board Approved on 11/4/2025. Spring Break is scheduled for March 22-26, 2027.
County context: Pasco County Schools serves families in Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel, New Port Richey, Dade City, and surrounding communities. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 13, 2026 and finish on May 28, 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. Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release Day (October 28, 2026), Early Release Day (January 27, 2027), and Early Release Day (February 24, 2027). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Teacher Planning Day / Student Holiday (October 12, 2026), Teacher Planning Day / Student Holiday (January 4, 2027), and Teacher Planning Day / Student Holiday (March 29, 2027). 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 2026-2027 Student/Teacher Calendar. 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.
