Complete month-by-month calendar for Berkeley Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Berkeley Unified School District in 2025-2026 starts in the middle of the usual late-summer range on Aug 13, 2025 and runs into the first week of June on Jun 4, 2026. The longest no-school windows highlighted here are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 24-28, 2025), Winter Break (Dec 22, 2025 - Jan 2, 2026), and Spring Break (Mar 31, 2026 - Apr 3, 2026). Spring Break sits in the late-March planning window.
For families comparing calendars, the useful takeaways are that the mid-August opening fits the common California back-to-school window, 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. It is a good set of dates to review before committing to travel or childcare plans.
The dates outside the big recesses mostly come from standalone no-school days and conference-related minimum days. The notes also flag conference-related minimum days that can shorten the student week. This calendar also calls out district-specific closures such as Indigenous Peoples' Day and Malcolm X's Birthday Holiday*. Beyond the three headline breaks, the details to scan include named schedule items such as Student Holiday and Secondary Break / Elementary Conference Day.
The dates here are hand-reviewed from district calendar materials by CA School Calendar; check the official district calendar page if the district posts a late revision.
Berkeley labels Oct 27-30, 2025 as shortened conference days for elementary and middle school, then uses Oct 31, 2025 as a secondary break / elementary conference day with no school for students.
The published calendar calls out Indigenous Peoples' Day and Malcolm X's Birthday Holiday* in addition to the standard statewide holidays.
Spring Break runs from Mar 31, 2026 - Apr 3, 2026, landing late in the March recess window.
Berkeley Unified School District starts school on Aug 13, 2025 for 2025-2026, which lands in the middle of the common August start window.
