About Escambia County Public Schools

Escambia County students begin the 2027–2028 school year Wednesday, August 11, 2027, and finish Tuesday, May 23, 2028. Fall Break covers November 22–26, 2027. The last student day before Christmas Break is Friday, December 17, a half day. Christmas Break runs December 20–31, followed by a teacher workday on January 3. Students return Tuesday, January 4.

Spring Break is March 20–24, 2028, with classes scheduled to resume Monday, March 27. The fourth nine weeks begins March 13, so March 13–17 is a regular school week. Friday, April 14 is another day without classes for students, separate from Spring Break. That date is Good Friday, but the district calendar labels it a Professional Development Day rather than a holiday.

The district lists 178 student days. October 11, 2027, and February 21, 2028, are also Professional Development Days with no school for students. Break dates may be used for make-up instruction if the district revises the calendar.

Students have half days on December 17, 2027, before Christmas Break, and May 23, 2028, the last student day. Both remain attendance days. The annual calendar does not give school-specific dismissal times for 2027–2028, so families should confirm their campus schedule before arranging pickup.
