About East Penn School District

East Penn students begin Monday, August 24, 2026. The calendar lists 183 student days and a scheduled June 9, 2027 finish. On early-dismissal dates, elementary students leave at 12:30 p.m., while middle school and Emmaus High School students leave at 11 a.m. Parent conferences add some school-level dismissals, so families should check the dates for their child’s school rather than assuming every early release applies districtwide.

Thanksgiving break runs November 26–30, with classes back December 1. Winter break is December 21–January 1; students return January 4. March 26–29 is a confirmed closure, but the preceding March 25 day off depends on make-up needs. If three weather closings occur by March 15, March 24 becomes a full school day and March 25 becomes an early dismissal.

Two inclement-weather make-up days are already built into the calendar. Further make-ups follow the district’s published order, with June 10, 11, 14, 15 and 16 available after the spring adjustment. If the school year extends, June 9 becomes a full day and the actual last day has early dismissal. Graduation is tentatively June 6; families should confirm ceremony arrangements before booking travel.
