Complete month-by-month calendar for San Diego Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
San Diego Unified School District starts the 2026-2027 year on Aug 10, 2026 and ends it on May 26, 2027. That last day falls before Memorial Day, so San Diego's summer transition begins earlier than districts that keep students in class into June.
The break pattern is relatively compact around the winter holidays: Winter Break runs Dec 21, 2026-Jan 1, 2027, then students return after New Year's weekend. The calendar's February detail is also worth noticing because Lincoln's Birthday on Feb 12, 2027 and Presidents' Day on Feb 15, 2027 create a four-day stretch away from regular classes.
Spring Break is Mar 29-Apr 2, 2027, a later spring window than Elk Grove or Fresno. This page follows San Diego Unified's districtwide academic calendar; school-specific events and any late district updates should be checked on the official district calendar page.
Yes. This page summarizes the San Diego Unified School District 2026-2027 school calendar, including first day, last day, spring break, winter break, holidays, printable PDF, iCal, and official source links. The first day is Aug 10, 2026, and the last day is May 26, 2027.
The student year ends on May 26, 2027, which is before Memorial Day and earlier than many districts in this California set. That changes when summer programs, custody schedules, and travel plans may need to start.
San Diego Unified lists Dec 21, 2026-Jan 1, 2027 for Winter Break. LAUSD and Fresno run through Jan 8, 2027, so San Diego students return about a week earlier.
Lincoln's Birthday is Friday, Feb 12, 2027, and Presidents' Day is Monday, Feb 15, 2027. Those two districtwide closures sit back-to-back around the weekend.
Spring Break runs from Mar 29, 2027 - Apr 2, 2027, landing late in the March recess window.
San Diego Unified School District starts school on Aug 10, 2026 for 2026-2027, which is an early-August opening by California district standards.
