Planning Notes
Douglas County Schools' 2028-2029 calendar is organized here around the source's dated breaks, holidays, and schedule-change labels.
Douglas County Schools shows a tentative 2028-2029 student window from August 2, 2028 to May 17, 2029; the reviewed source is Douglas County School System 2028-2029 calendar PDF marked Draft 8-12-2025.
The break sequence includes Student Holiday on September 5, 2028; Fall Break on October 9-13, 2028; Student Holiday on November 7, 2028; Thanksgiving Break on November 20-24, 2028; Winter Break on December 20, 2028 through January 2, 2029; Winter Break on February 19-23, 2029; Student Holiday on March 5, 2029; Spring Break on April 2-6, 2029.
Schedule-shortening labels deserve their own check: Half Day, All Students on May 16, 2029; Half Day, All Students on May 17, 2029. Named holiday entries in the calendar data include Labor Day on September 4, 2028; New Year's Day on January 1, 2029; Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 17, 2029.
A useful reading note for this 2028-2029 calendar: Student Holiday and Winter Break appear in more than one block, so the dates are kept in chronological order rather than merged into a single label. Winter Break crosses the calendar year from December 20, 2028 through January 2, 2029, which is the date range to check when planning the January return. The final student date, May 17, 2029, is also labeled Half Day, All Students. Because the source is not final, later board action or a revised PDF could change individual dates.
