California School Holidays 2026-2027 by District
This page is the permanent California school holidays guide. It is updated as districts publish new calendars, with 2026-2027 Thanksgiving break, winter break, Christmas break timing, and spring break dates first. 2025-2026 dates are kept below for reference.
Quick answer: California schools do not share one statewide holiday calendar. In the current 2026-2027 covered data, the main Thanksgiving break pattern is Nov 23-27, 2026, and the largest winter break pattern is Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027. Spring break varies more, so use the California spring break guide for the full regional comparison.
