Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District in 2026-2027 starts in the middle of the usual late-summer range on Aug 13, 2026 and finishes before June begins on May 27, 2027. Most families will start with Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Recess (10 days) (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027), and Spring Recess (5 days) (Mar 29, 2027 - Apr 2, 2027). Spring Break sits in the late-March planning window.
The practical planning read is that the mid-August opening fits the common California back-to-school window, 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.
The dates outside the big recesses mostly come from minimum days. Families should scan the supporting schedule details because they include named schedule items such as Minimum Day (Middle school only) and Minimum Day (Elementary only).
CA School Calendar maintains this page from the district's own calendar publications, with the official district calendar page linked for final confirmation.
The calendar also marks Minimum Day (Middle school only) and Minimum Day (Elementary only), which can affect pickup timing and after-school plans even when students are still on campus.
For the 2026-2027 school year, Spring Break runs Mar 29, 2027 - Apr 2, 2027 and reaches the end of March.
The first day of school for Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District in 2026-2027 is Aug 13, 2026, right in the middle of the usual August opening range.
Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District ends the 2026-2027 school year on May 27, 2027, before June begins.
Winter Break runs from Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027, so students return relatively soon after New Year's.
