About Scranton School District

Scranton students start Wednesday, August 26, 2026 and finish Monday, June 7, 2027 with early release. The board-approved calendar lists 180 instructional days. Graduation is on the final school day: Scranton High School begins at 5 p.m., followed by West Scranton High School at 7:30 p.m. No ceremony end times or venues are provided.

Elementary conferences are November 10 and November 12, both with 10:50 a.m. dismissal. November 11 is a district closure, so those conference dates are not one continuous shortened-school period. Intermediate conferences are November 17 with 11:30 a.m. release. The following day has a separate 1:25 p.m. intermediate early release, while elementary students have a separate 12:25 p.m. release November 13.

Thanksgiving break is November 26–30. The December 24–31 winter break joins January 1’s New Year holiday, with classes next scheduled January 4. Spring break is March 25–29, and Memorial Day time off is May 28–31. Student closures and district-wide office closures differ within several breaks. Testing dates are windows assigned by schools, not daily exams for every student.
