Palm Beach County School District students will get a three-day weekend starting on Friday, October 17, when teachers have a work and training day.
The teacher’s training day comes the day after the first nine-week term ended. It is also two weeks and a day after students were also off for the second of two fall holidays on Oct. 2.
There is no school for students on Veteran’s Day, Tuesday, Nov. 11. It is another working day for teachers.
The Thanksgiving break isn’t long after Veteran’s Day. It begins on Nov. 24 and runs through the week, with students returning to school on Dec. 1.
It’s a three-week push until the next big break for the winter holiday, which begins on Dec. 22 and runs through Jan. 5, 2026, with school beginning the next day on Jan. 6.
Spring break begins on March 16. School resumes on March 24. From there, it’s on to the Memorial Day holiday, which is on May 25. The 2025-26 school year ends on May 29.
Even with Halloween still a couple weeks away, the end of the school year will be here in the proverbial blink of an eye, though it might not feel that way for students, parents and teachers getting up with the chickens.
There are random days off throughout the school year beyond the big breaks for Thanksgiving, the winter holidays and spring break. It’s all on the Palm Beach County School District calendar.
