Month by month
Highlighted dates follow the published calendar; grouped or inferred entries are labelled. Today is determined in Eastern Time (America/New_York).
Parkland students begin Monday, August 24, 2026. The planned last student day is Tuesday, June 8, 2027. June 7 has an early-dismissal marker; June 8 does not. The calendar was board-approved February 17 and updated July 21. Weather changes can affect the scheduled finish, so the June 8 date should be read with the make-up policy.
Thanksgiving time off runs November 26–30, following three consecutive early-dismissal days November 23–25. Winter time off runs December 21–January 1; January 4 is the next scheduled school day. The planned spring break is March 25–29, but March 25 may be used for make-up instruction. March 19 is a separate professional-development closure; March 22–24 remain scheduled school days.
Early dismissals are November 23–25, January 22, May 21 and June 7. High and middle schools dismiss at 11:00 a.m.; elementary schools dismiss at 11:45 a.m. The weather procedures list remote learning, February 12, March 25 and additional make-ups beginning June 9, with no prescribed order. The district says weather announcements will come through the Parkland App, Rapid Notification System, social media and its website.
Weather make-up options: No fixed order. The PDF lists remote learning, February 12, March 25 and additional days beginning June 9. It explicitly says these options are in no particular order; no holiday is confirmed as a student make-up day without a district announcement.
