Month by month
Highlighted dates follow the published calendar; grouped or inferred entries are labelled. Today is determined in Eastern Time (America/New_York).
Pocono Mountain students begin Monday, August 31, 2026, before the Labor Day weekend. Schools close September 4 and September 7, giving students a continuous Friday–Monday break. The scheduled finish is Thursday, June 3, 2027, with students dismissed three hours early. That last-day date is tentative, and the calendar reserves additional dates for snow or emergency make-up days.
K–12 parent conferences are November 23, from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and November 24, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Schools are closed to students on both dates and again for Act 80 on November 25. Thanksgiving closures follow November 26, 27 and 30, so students are next scheduled to attend December 1. November 25’s shorter workday applies to teachers, not students.
Winter recess begins with a three-hour student early release December 23, followed by school closures December 24–January 1. Classes resume January 4. Spring recess is planned for March 25–29, but March 25 and March 29 are additional make-up candidates; March 26 is not. The four marking-period ends are tentative academic dates rather than report-card release dates.
