About Allentown School District
Allentown’s first day for all students is August 24, 2026. Kindergarten, sixth-grade and ninth-grade families also have morning orientation on August 20. The year ends June 10, 2027, and both June 9 and June 10 have early dismissal. Graduation dates for Allen, Dieruff and Bridgeview are still listed as to be determined in the approved PDF.
Parent conferences affect the school day differently in fall and spring. November 23–24 are half days for PreK–12; November 25 has no student classes. Thanksgiving closures follow November 26–30, with students back December 1. Spring conferences are half days on March 23–24, followed by the planned March 25–30 holiday. March 25 and March 30 may become make-up days, so that entire stretch is not guaranteed time off.
Winter holiday runs December 21 through January 3, with classes scheduled to resume January 4. February 12 is another possible student make-up date. For shorter days, the district’s School Schedules table lists noon dismissal for elementary schools, 11 a.m. for middle schools and Allen/Dieruff, and 11:45 a.m. for Bridgeview. Newcomer and LCTI/LCCC schedules have exceptions. Check your child’s program and assigned high school schedule before arranging pickup.
