About Clay County District Schools

Christmas break ends December 31, 2027, but students have Monday, January 3, 2028 off for a planning day. Classes resume January 4. In March, spring break runs March 13-17, followed by another planning day on Monday, March 20. Students return Tuesday, March 21. Including the weekends, they have March 11-20 off.

Fair Day is Friday, April 7, 2028. Good Friday follows on April 14. Both are student and teacher holidays, but April 10-13 are scheduled school days. Families have two separate three-day weekends rather than one week-long break.

The district lists graduation on May 19, the last student day on May 26 and final report cards on June 9. Check school notices for pickup and ceremony times.

About This Calendar

Data source & handling: The user supplied a one-page PDF export of the district’s final 2027-2028 Google document. The entire page was extracted and visually inspected, including both early-dismissal columns, grade-posting tables and printed School Board approval. The official Student Calendars HTML links that same document ID. The stored hash identifies the supplied export, not a newly retrieved Google document. Dates are collected from district materials and organized into key dates, monthly calendars and calendar subscriptions. Visit Clay County Schools’s official website.

Disclaimer: The district can revise the online calendar after this export. Confirm school messages for early-dismissal pickup times, bus arrangements, senior requirements and graduation details. The annual documents list graduation dates without a separate senior attendance endpoint. Current 2026-2027 regular school hours do not establish 2027-2028 hours.
