Complete month-by-month calendar for West Contra Costa Public Schools. Every day is color-coded so you can see school days, holidays, and breaks at a glance.
West Contra Costa Unified School District in 2026-2027 starts later than many August-opening districts on Aug 18, 2026 and extends deeper into June than many nearby calendars on Jun 10, 2027. The biggest no-school windows are Thanksgiving Break (Nov 23-27, 2026), Winter Recess (Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027), and Spring Recess (Apr 5-10, 2027). Spring Break stretches into an April recess window.
Read as a household calendar, the year mainly means 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. 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. Beyond the three headline breaks, the details to scan include district-specific closure labels such as Indigenous Peoples' Day.
CA School Calendar maintains this page from the district's own calendar publications, with the official district calendar page linked for final confirmation.
The published calendar calls out Indigenous Peoples' Day in addition to the standard statewide holidays.
For the 2026-2027 school year, Spring Break runs Apr 5-10, 2027 and opens right around early April.
The first day of school for West Contra Costa Unified School District in 2026-2027 is Aug 18, 2026, so the year opens later than many August-start calendars.
West Contra Costa 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.
Winter Break runs from Dec 21, 2026 - Jan 1, 2027, so students return relatively soon after New Year's.
