About Lower Merion School District
Lower Merion students begin after Labor Day, on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. The school year ends Thursday, June 17, 2027, and the calendar specifically calls for a full final day. Families should keep that in mind when arranging summer travel or the first day of camp. The revised overview lists 180 student days. Its holidays apply to all schools, while conference schedules may differ by school level.
Thanksgiving time off starts Wednesday, November 25 with a professional development day, followed by the November 26–27 holiday and the weekend. Classes resume November 30. Winter break begins December 24 and continues through January 1, with students returning January 4. December 23 remains a school day. Spring break covers March 22–26; the surrounding weekends give students nine consecutive days without classes, ending March 28.
Other professional development closures fall November 3, February 12 and May 18. The February closure joins the February 15 holiday through the weekend, so classes resume February 16. For elementary, middle and high school conference dates or changes to dismissal times, check the district’s online school calendars.
