Complete month-by-month calendar for Los Angeles Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Los Angeles Unified School District starts students on Aug 12, 2026 and keeps the year open until Jun 4, 2027. The LAUSD calendar is not just a three-break calendar: it also places Admission Day Observed on Sep 4, 2026, Veterans Day on Nov 11, 2026, and Cesar E. Chavez Birthday on Mar 31, 2027 outside the main recess blocks.
The biggest LAUSD-specific item is the long winter return. Students are out for Winter Break from Dec 21, 2026 through Jan 8, 2027, which pushes the first school day after New Year's later than districts that return on Jan 4 or Jan 5. Spring Break is shorter, running Mar 22-26, 2027, with Cesar E. Chavez Birthday following separately the next week.
Use this page as the districtwide instructional calendar, not as a bell schedule for a particular LAUSD campus. Magnet calendars, school-site events, minimum days, and local pickup routines still need a final check against the official district calendar page and the individual school site.
Yes. This page summarizes the Los Angeles Unified School District 2026-2027 school calendar, including first day, last day, spring break, winter break, holidays, printable PDF, iCal, and official source links. The first day is Aug 12, 2026, and the last day is Jun 4, 2027.
The districtwide dates to catch separately are Admission Day Observed on Sep 4, 2026, Veterans Day on Nov 11, 2026, Dr. Martin L. King Jr. Birthday on Jan 18, 2027, Presidents' Day on Feb 15, 2027, Cesar E. Chavez Birthday on Mar 31, 2027, and Memorial Day on May 31, 2027.
LAUSD keeps students out from Dec 21, 2026 through Jan 8, 2027. That return date is later than many California districts, so January childcare, after-school programs, and work schedules may need a separate check.
No. This page tracks the districtwide instructional calendar. LAUSD school sites can still publish their own bell schedules, minimum days, parent conference details, and campus events.
For the 2026-2027 school year, Spring Break runs Mar 22-26, 2027 and arrives before the end of March.
The first day of school for Los Angeles Unified School District in 2026-2027 is Aug 12, 2026, placing the calendar on the early side of the usual August opening window.
