Seminole County Public Schools is consistently rated as one of Florida's top-performing districts, with high graduation rates and strong standardized test scores. The district serves suburban communities north of Orlando.

County context: Seminole County Public Schools serves families in Sanford, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, Oviedo, Winter Springs, and surrounding communities. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 10, 2026 and finish on May 25, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 3, 2027), and Spring Break (March 15, 2027 - March 19, 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 (December 16, 2026), Early Release (December 17, 2026), Early Release (December 18, 2026), and Early Release (May 21, 2027). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Teacher Workday / Student Holiday (October 12, 2026), Teacher Workday / Student Holiday (January 4, 2027), District PD Day / Student Holiday (January 5, 2027), and Teacher Workday (March 22, 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 Seminole County Public Schools 2026-2027 Student Attendance Calendar, board approved May 13, 2025. 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.
