Complete month-by-month calendar for Capistrano Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Capistrano Unified School District starts later than many August-opening districts, with the first day on Aug 18, 2026. The last day is Jun 3, 2027, and the district's calendar note makes that date more specific than a generic year-end marker.
The note says June 3 is the last day of school for all students/graduation ceremonies. That matters for high school households because the final week can include graduation logistics, end-of-year events, and schedule differences that are not visible from a simple first-day/last-day table.
Spring Break is fully in April, Apr 5-9, 2027, after a compact winter recess from Dec 21, 2026-Jan 1, 2027. For graduation details, school-level events, and late district changes, use the official district calendar page.
The calendar note says June 3 is the last day of school for all students/graduation ceremonies. Families with seniors should check school-level graduation information in addition to the districtwide calendar.
