Apple Valley Unified School District in 2026-2027 opens on the earlier side of the school-year cycle on Aug 6, 2026 and finishes before June begins on May 26, 2027. Most families will start with Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Break (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027), and Spring Break (Mar 15-19, 2027). Spring Break comes earlier than the April recess pattern some districts use.
The practical planning read is that the early start can affect summer camp, childcare, and back-to-school travel timing, the May finish can move summer planning earlier than districts that run into June, and Thanksgiving is shown as a full-week break. Those are the dates to check before assuming a normal school week.
Beyond the headline breaks, the schedule also includes minimum days. The published notes also call out early-release or minimum-day clusters that matter for pickup timing. The smaller schedule details worth a closer look include named schedule items such as Minimum Day (TK-8 only) and Minimum Day (9-12 only).
CA School Calendar reviews the district's published calendar materials by hand, but the official district calendar page remains the final place to confirm late updates.
The student calendar specifically calls out early-release or minimum-day schedules, which can affect pickup timing and after-school plans even when students are still on campus.
For the 2026-2027 school year, Spring Break runs Mar 15-19, 2027 and arrives before the end of March.
The first day of school for Apple Valley Unified School District in 2026-2027 is Aug 6, 2026, placing the calendar on the early side of the usual August opening window.
Apple Valley Unified School District ends the 2026-2027 school year on May 26, 2027, before June begins.
Thanksgiving Break: Nov 23-27, 2026. Winter Break: Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027. Spring Break: Mar 15-19, 2027
