The 2026-2027 Capistrano Unified School District calendar starts later than many August-opening districts on Aug 18, 2026 and runs into the first week of June on Jun 3, 2027. The biggest family planning windows are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Break (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027), and Spring Break (Apr 5-9, 2027). Spring Break stretches into an April recess window. Most of the no-school time is concentrated in the major break windows rather than scattered across the year. Graduation timing is also called out in the published notes.
