About Broward County Public Schools
Broward has six early-release days in 2026-2027. Five—October 9, December 18, March 18, April 30 and May 28—are also designated as severe-weather make-up dates. The remaining date, February 12, is identified as A Day of Service and Love in a separate BCPS Board calendar. All six are scheduled school days with earlier dismissal. Check your school's pickup times before making transportation or after-school care plans.
Students have the entire week of November 23-27 off for Thanksgiving. Winter break runs December 21-January 1, followed by a staff planning day on January 4; classes resume January 5. March 10 is a separate school closure, not part of spring break. March 19 is another planning day, followed by spring break March 22-26. Students return March 29.
The last student day is Friday, May 28, and it ends with early release. Grade 12 final report cards are scheduled for May 24, while final cards for kindergarten through Grade 11 are scheduled for June 10. The June date is for report-card distribution, not another day of classes. The district synopsis cautions that report-card distribution dates can change.

About This Calendar
Data source & handling: The supplied color calendar matches the PDF currently linked from the BCPS district calendar page by SHA-256. The accessible calendar and two-page School Calendar Synopsis were cross-checked for quarter starts and reporting details. The district’s December 18, 2025 announcement confirms approval of both published school years. Dates are collected from district materials and organized into key dates, monthly calendars and calendar subscriptions. Visit Broward County Public Schools’s official website.
Disclaimer: Broward may update the calendar after weather disruptions. Check school notices for dismissal times, graduation and any report distribution changes. The annual PDF does not provide a separate attendance schedule for every charter school or special program.
