Complete month-by-month calendar for Poway Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Poway Unified School District in 2026-2027 starts in the middle of the usual late-summer range on Aug 13, 2026 and runs into the first week of June on Jun 3, 2027. Most families will start with Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Break (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027), and Spring Break (Apr 12-16, 2027). Spring Break falls later in April than many California district calendars.
The practical planning read is that the mid-August opening fits the common California back-to-school window, the early-June finish keeps the year close to the standard late-spring wrap-up pattern, and Thanksgiving is shown as a full-week break. Those details are the ones most likely to affect childcare coverage, travel timing, and when school-site announcements deserve another look.
Outside those major breaks, there are a couple of standalone no-school days worth watching. The notes also point to an extra recess or no-school stretch outside the three headline breaks. This calendar also calls out district-specific closures such as Admission Day Observed. Families should scan the supporting schedule details because they include named schedule items such as Student Holiday.
