About Erie's Public Schools
Erie families have two opening dates to plan for: Pre-K begins Monday, August 24, 2026, and the general student start is Tuesday, August 25. August 31 is then a non-attendance day, followed by another day off September 4 and the September 7 district holiday. The revised PDF lists 171 student days, while Pre-K and seniors have their own schedule differences.
Seven Act 80 dates carry a clear exception: Pre-K is in session while other students do not attend. Those dates are September 25, October 12, November 3, February 5, March 9, April 16 and May 18. November 23–24 conferences are full student closures, followed by November 25 off and district holidays through November 30. Students are scheduled back December 1.
Winter time off runs December 24 through January 1, with classes scheduled to resume January 4. Spring time off is continuous March 22–29: four spring-break weekdays are followed by district holidays March 26 and 29, with the weekend between them. Seniors finish May 28; other students are scheduled to finish June 4. February 15 and June 7–8 may be used for snow make-ups, and additional make-ups would be added at the end of the year.
