About Bay District Schools

Spring break is scheduled for March 13-17, 2028, with students returning Monday, March 20. March 29 is a separate teacher PLC planning day. Students are scheduled to be off, but the date may be used for storm make-up classes if needed. Report cards are also scheduled to become available in the Parent Portal on March 29. Good Friday falls later, on April 14, and is not part of spring break.

Four teacher PLC planning days may also be used as Storm Days: September 29 and October 27, 2027, plus February 2 and March 29, 2028. Two other possible make-up dates are October 8, the first scheduled Fall Break day, and December 20, the planned start of winter break. December 17 is a full school day for all students, even though it marks the end of the first semester. January 3 is a teacher records workday, and students return January 4.

May 24, 2028, is an early-release day for high school students only. The school year ends May 25, with early release for all students. The annual calendar does not give specific dismissal times.

Graduation dates vary by school, so families should confirm ceremony details directly with the school. Final report cards are scheduled for June 7.

About This Calendar

Data source & handling: The supplied 2027-2028 Student Academic Calendar is marked Revised 9/8/2026. Bay’s live Academic Calendar page identifies the supplied Google Drive file ID as its 2027-2028 FINAL download. The local PDF was inspected in full; the stored content hash describes that local file, not a successfully downloaded Google response. Dates are collected from district materials and organized into key dates, monthly calendars and calendar subscriptions. Visit Bay District Schools’s official website.

Disclaimer: Confirm any activated Storm Day with Bay District Schools. Individual schools supply exam reporting instructions, pickup times and graduation details; a school-specific ceremony does not make the date a holiday for everyone.
