Complete month-by-month calendar for San Jose Unified Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
San Jose Unified in 2026-2027 opens on the earlier side of the school-year cycle on Aug 6, 2026 and finishes before June begins on May 27, 2027. Most families will start with Thanksgiving Break (Nov 25-27, 2026), Winter Break (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027), and Spring Break (Apr 5-9, 2027). Spring Break gives families an early-April planning window.
The practical planning read is that 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, and Thanksgiving is a shorter break window rather than a full week. Those are the dates to check before assuming a normal school week.
Most of the no-school time is concentrated in the major break windows rather than scattered across the year. The notes also point to an extra recess or no-school stretch outside the three headline breaks.
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.
