About Dixie District Schools

Dixie District Schools starts the 2026–27 school year on Monday, August 10, and ends it on Friday, May 28.

August 10, 2026, and May 28, 2027, are early-release school days. Students also leave early on October 16 for DCMHS Homecoming and December 18 at the end of Term 2. The district calendar does not list dismissal times, so families should check with their school about pickup and bus schedules.

Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for October 29 and February 11. Neither date is marked as a student holiday or early-release day, but students are off the following day for a teacher workday in each case. Thanksgiving break runs November 21–29.

Term 3 ends March 19, which is not marked as a holiday or early-release day. Good Friday on March 26 is a separate day off. Spring break runs April 10–18, with classes scheduled to resume Monday, April 19.

The calendar lists DCMHS graduation for May 21 but does not provide a ceremony time or a separate last day for seniors. Families should confirm graduation arrangements with the school. The district's last student day is May 28, and final report cards are scheduled for June 7, after classes have ended.
