Note: The Board of School Commissioners approved the 2026-27 calendar (district article "First look at the 2026-27 school year calendar", Feb. 9, 2026, with the same first day, last day and break dates). The one-page calendar says it applies to most schools, reflects dates as of March 2026, and points to baltimorecityschools.org/events for updates; the district's live events feed (checked Sept. 26, 2026) matches every closure, professional development day and early release day from Sept. 28 on, and the Sept. 15, 2026 homepage capture shows Sept. 7 and Sept. 21 as closures. August 24 is the first day for traditional schools; some charter schools may start on a different date. Winter Break is printed Dec. 23 - Jan. 3 (students return Monday, Jan. 4) and Spring Break March 26 - April 4 (students return Monday, April 5). Nov. 25-27 is listed as "Wellness Day; Thanksgiving Break". Professional development days (Oct. 16, Nov. 6, Jan. 8, Feb. 5, March 5, May 7) are no-school days for students. Early release days: schools release 4 hours after start time (Oct. 15 also has afternoon parent-teacher conferences). June 11 is the last day and an early release day unless inclement weather recovery days are needed; the recovery days are June 14-16. Senior graduations are scheduled June 1-10. Juneteenth (observed Friday, June 18) falls after the last day. Observance Days not marked as closures are regular school days.
