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 2027-2028 opens on the earlier side of the school-year cycle on Aug 9, 2027 and finishes before June begins on May 24, 2028. Most families will start with Thanksgiving Break (Nov 22-26, 2027), Winter Break (Dec 20-31, 2027), and Spring Break (Apr 3-7, 2028). Spring Break starts around the March-to-April transition.
The practical planning read is 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, and Thanksgiving is shown as a full-week break. That is the part of the calendar most likely to affect care coverage, travel timing, and school-site follow-up.
Most of the no-school time is concentrated in the major break windows rather than scattered across the year. Beyond the three headline breaks, the details to scan include district-specific closure labels such as Indigenous Peoples' Day and Cesar Chavez Day.
