Alameda Unified School District in 2026-2027 opens on the earlier side of the school-year cycle on Aug 11, 2026 and runs into the first week of June on Jun 3, 2027. The longest no-school windows highlighted here are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Break (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027), and Spring Break (Apr 12-16, 2027). Spring Break is one of the later spring recesses in this group.
For families comparing calendars, the useful takeaways are that the early start can affect summer camp, childcare, and back-to-school travel timing, the early-June finish keeps the year close to the standard late-spring wrap-up pattern, and Thanksgiving is shown as a full-week break. That combination can shift when to book trips, arrange care, or double-check school-specific notices.
Most of the no-school time is concentrated in the major break windows rather than scattered across the year. The smaller schedule details worth a closer look include district-specific closure labels such as October Break and March Break.
The calendar dates on this page are checked against district-published materials; families should still verify late changes against the official district calendar page.
The published calendar calls out October Break and March Break in addition to the standard statewide holidays.
Yes. Alameda lists a full Presidents Week from Feb 15-19, 2027 in addition to the standard Thanksgiving, winter, and spring recess windows.
Spring Break runs from Apr 12-16, 2027, later than the March-heavy recess pattern some districts use.
