United States School Holidays 2027

US school holidays in 2027 vary by state and district. Independence Day (4 July, Sunday / observed 5 July Monday) falls within the summer break for most schools.

Summer holidays: 10–13 weeks from late May or June to August or early September. Labor Day (6 September) marks the traditional return for many districts.

Thanksgiving break: Most schools close around Thanksgiving (25 November) — typically the full week.

Winter break: Two weeks from approximately 18–20 December 2027 to 2–5 January 2028. Christmas falling on Saturday means Christmas Eve (24 December, Friday) is the substitute federal holiday — many schools schedule their last day before Christmas break on this date.

Spring break: One week in March or April, varying widely by district.
