Complete month-by-month calendar for Chico Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Chico Unified School District in 2026-2027 opens on the earlier side of the school-year cycle on Aug 3, 2026 and runs into the first week of June on Jun 3, 2027. The biggest no-school windows are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Break (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027), and Spring Break (Mar 15-19, 2027). Spring Break falls on the earlier side of the spring recess window.
Read as a household calendar, the year mainly means 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. Those points are worth a quick review before families set camp, trip, or pickup plans.
Outside those major breaks, there are a couple of standalone no-school days worth watching. This calendar also calls out district-specific closures such as Spring Travel Day and Admission Day Observed. The smaller schedule details worth a closer look include named schedule items such as Student Holiday.
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.
The published calendar calls out Spring Travel Day and Admission Day Observed in addition to the standard statewide holidays.
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 Chico Unified School District in 2026-2027 is Aug 3, 2026, placing the calendar on the early side of the usual August opening window.
