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 2027-2028 opens on the earlier side of the school-year cycle on Aug 5, 2027 and finishes before June begins on May 26, 2028. The biggest no-school windows are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 24-26, 2027), Winter Break (Dec 20-31, 2027), and Spring Break (Apr 3-7, 2028). Spring Break starts around the March-to-April transition.
Read as a household calendar, the year mainly means 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. It is worth checking these points before locking in camps, travel, or pickup plans.
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.
CA School Calendar reviews the district's published calendar materials by hand, but the official district calendar page remains the final place to confirm late updates.
