Planning Notes
This Douglas County Schools page is based on a district calendar PDF marked Draft 8-12-2025, so the dates are useful for early planning but should not be treated as a final adopted calendar.
The draft places the first student day on August 5, 2026 and the last student day on May 20, 2027. Major breaks in the draft include Fall Break from October 12-16, Thanksgiving Break from November 23-27, Winter Break from December 21-January 4, a second Winter Break from February 15-19, and Spring Break from April 5-9.
Schedule details worth watching include student holidays on September 8, November 3, and March 8, plus all-student half days on May 19 and May 20. Because May 20 is also listed as the last day of school, families should recheck the district's final calendar before relying on dismissal timing.
