Complete month-by-month calendar for Riverside Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Riverside Unified School District in 2025-2026 opens on the earlier side of the school-year cycle on Aug 11, 2025 and finishes before June begins on May 29, 2026. The main break blocks to plan around are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 24-28, 2025), Winter Break (Dec 22, 2025 - Jan 2, 2026), and Spring Break (Mar 23-27, 2026). Spring Break is a March break, so families planning spring travel should look earlier in the semester.
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. These details can affect childcare coverage, trip timing, and when to recheck school-site announcements.
Outside those major breaks, there is one extra standalone no-school day to keep on the family calendar. This calendar also calls out district-specific closures such as Admission Day Observed. The smaller schedule details worth a closer look include named schedule items such as Student Holiday.
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 published calendar calls out Admission Day Observed in addition to the standard statewide holidays.
Spring Break runs from Mar 23-27, 2026, so it falls on the early side of the spring recess window.
Riverside Unified School District starts school on Aug 11, 2025 for 2025-2026, which is an early-August opening by California district standards.
The last day of school for Riverside Unified School District in 2025-2026 is May 29, 2026, keeping the school-year end in the final stretch of May.
Thanksgiving Break: Nov 24-28, 2025. Winter Break: Dec 22, 2025 - Jan 2, 2026. Spring Break: Mar 23-27, 2026
