Complete month-by-month calendar for Palm Springs Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Palm Springs Unified School District in 2026-2027 opens on the earlier side of the school-year cycle on Aug 5, 2026 and runs into the first week of June on Jun 4, 2027. The longest no-school windows highlighted here are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Recess (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 8, 2027), and Spring Recess (Mar 22, 2027 - Apr 2, 2027). Spring Break falls on the earlier side of the spring recess window.
For families comparing calendars, the useful takeaways are that the early start can affect summer camp, childcare, and back-to-school travel timing, the early-June finish keeps the year close to the standard late-spring wrap-up pattern, Thanksgiving is shown as a full-week break, and winter break is one of the longest no-school stretches on the calendar. That combination can shift when to book trips, arrange care, or double-check school-specific notices.
Outside those major breaks, there are only a few extra closures tied to minimum days. This calendar also calls out district-specific closures such as Winter Recess. The smaller schedule details worth a closer look include named schedule items such as Minimum Day.
The dates here are hand-reviewed from district calendar materials by CA School Calendar; check the official district calendar page if the district posts a late revision.
The calendar also marks Minimum Day, which can affect pickup timing and after-school plans even when students are still on campus.
The published calendar calls out Winter Recess in addition to the standard statewide holidays.
Spring Break runs from Mar 22, 2027 - Apr 2, 2027, so it falls on the early side of the spring recess window.
Palm Springs Unified School District starts school on Aug 5, 2026 for 2026-2027, which is an early-August opening by California district standards.
