APS students are scheduled to begin on August 3, 2026 and finish on May 27, 2027. The official calendar includes Fall Break from October 12-16, Thanksgiving Break from November 23-27, December Break from December 21-January 4, Winter Break from February 15-19, and Spring Break from April 5-9.
Two PreK-12 Early Release Days are listed for September 21, 2026 and March 15, 2027.
