Complete month-by-month calendar for Saddleback Valley Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
Saddleback Valley Unified School District opens the 2026-2027 school year on Aug 19, 2026 and closes it on Jun 10, 2027. The main recess windows are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Break (Dec 21, 2026-Jan 1, 2027), and Spring Break (Apr 5-9, 2027).
Saddleback also marks a Fall Recess Day on Sep 21, 2026 and a February recess attached to Presidents' Days, then closes the year with high school exams on Jun 8-10, 2027, intermediate exams on Jun 9-10, 2027, and an elementary minimum day on Jun 10, 2027.
The practical planning read is that the later start leaves a longer August planning window before classes resume, the later June finish can shorten the early-summer planning window, and Thanksgiving is shown as a full-week break. Those are the dates to check before assuming a normal school week.
The calendar dates on this page are checked against district-published materials; families should still verify late changes against the official district calendar page.
Yes. Saddleback marks a Fall Recess Day on Sep 21, 2026, then shows Presidents' Days on Feb 15-16, 2027 followed by February Recess Days on Feb 17-19, 2027.
The final week is more complex than a normal closeout. Saddleback lists High School Exam Schedule on Jun 8-10, 2027, Intermediate Exams on Jun 9-10, 2027, and an Elementary Minimum Day on Jun 10, 2027.
For the 2026-2027 school year, Spring Break runs Apr 5-9, 2027 and opens right around early April.
The first day of school for Saddleback Valley Unified School District in 2026-2027 is Aug 19, 2026, so the year opens later than many August-start calendars.
Saddleback Valley Unified School District ends the 2026-2027 school year on Jun 10, 2027, giving families a later June finish than the usual May-ending pattern.
