Complete month-by-month calendar for Garden Grove Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Garden Grove Unified School District opens the 2025-2026 school year on Aug 11, 2025 and finishes on May 27, 2026. The main recess windows are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 24-28, 2025), Winter Break (Dec 22, 2025-Jan 2, 2026), and Spring Break (Mar 16-20, 2026).
Garden Grove also adds two standalone Non-student Day closures on Nov 10, 2025 and Jan 5, 2026, which are easy to miss if a family only scans the longer breaks.
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. Thanksgiving is shown as a full-week break. Those are the calendar patterns most likely to affect care, travel, and school-site follow-up.
The calendar dates on this page are checked against district-published materials; families should still verify late changes against the official district calendar page.
Yes. This page summarizes the Garden Grove Unified School District 2025-2026 school calendar, including first day, last day, spring break, winter break, holidays, printable PDF, iCal, and official source links. The first day is Aug 11, 2025, and the last day is May 27, 2026.
The three biggest planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 24-28, 2025), Winter Break (Dec 22, 2025-Jan 2, 2026), and Spring Break (Mar 16-20, 2026). The Non-student Days on Nov 10, 2025 and Jan 5, 2026 are shorter single-date closures outside those main break windows.
Spring Break runs from Mar 16-20, 2026, so it falls on the early side of the spring recess window.
