Planning Notes
For Dade County Schools, the 2026-2027 calendar is clearest when Half Day - Parent/Teacher Conference is read apart from vacation blocks.
Dade County Schools' 2026-2027 source gives August 7, 2026 as the first student date and May 20, 2027 as the final student date.
The break sequence includes Fall Break on October 14-16, 2026; Thanksgiving Holidays on November 23-27, 2026; Holiday Break on December 21, 2026 through January 5, 2027; Winter Break / In-Service on February 12-15, 2027; Spring Break on March 29-April 1, 2027.
Early-release or half-day entries are separate from full breaks: Half Day - Parent/Teacher Conference on October 13, 2026; Half Day for Students and Staff on December 18, 2026. Staff workday, conference, or student-holiday labels include In-Service on September 21, 2026. The holiday list also names Labor Day on September 7, 2026.
One source detail worth preserving: Holiday Break crosses the calendar year from December 21, 2026 through January 5, 2027, which is the date range to check when planning the January return.
