Santa Monica-Malibu Calendar Planning Notes

Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District begins the 2027-2028 school year on Aug 19, 2027 and finishes on Jun 8, 2028. The main recess windows are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 24-26, 2027), Winter Break (Dec 20-31, 2027), and an extended Spring Break (Apr 3-14, 2028).

Santa Monica-Malibu again separates all-student pupil-free days on Aug 16-18, 2027, an elementary-only pupil-free day on Nov 2, 2027, and a secondary-only pupil-free day on Jan 3, 2028. Several local and legal holidays also sit inside the broader recess windows.

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 a shorter break window rather than a full week. That is the part of the calendar most likely to affect care coverage, travel timing, and school-site follow-up.

CA School Calendar maintains this page from the district's own calendar publications, with the official district calendar page linked for final confirmation.
