Complete month-by-month calendar for Oakland Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Oakland Unified School District in 2026-2027 opens on the earlier side of the school-year cycle on Aug 10, 2026 and finishes before June begins on May 27, 2027. The biggest no-school windows are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Break (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 4, 2027), and Spring Break (Mar 29, 2027 - Apr 2, 2027). Spring Break is placed near the end of March.
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 May finish can move summer planning earlier than districts that run into June, Thanksgiving is shown as a full-week break, and winter break is one of the longest no-school stretches on the calendar. This is where a quick recheck can prevent surprises around care or travel.
Most of the no-school time is concentrated in the major break windows rather than scattered across the year. The smaller schedule details worth a closer look include district-specific closure labels such as Indigenous Peoples' Day and Cesar Chavez Day.
The calendar dates on this page are checked against district-published materials; families should still verify late changes against the official district calendar page.
