Christmas Day (Friday, December 25, 2026) and New Year’s Day (Friday, January 1, 2027) both fall inside the break.
Students also have no school on Tue, Jan 5, 2027, which makes the time off 18 days long.
Friday, December 18, 2026, the last day before the break, is an early release day.

Verified against Hamblen County Schools’ official 2026-2027 calendar on September 29, 2026. Confidence: Medium.

We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: Document has no approval wording, so status is unknown. July 30 is Registration Day and the 1st day of school (11:15 dismissal); the first full day is Aug 3. July 31 is a half-day in-service/half-day administrative day and it is unclear whether students attend. May 19 is listed as the Last Full Day of School; May 20 is an administrative day and May 21 is Graduation/Report Card Day. Only Nov 2 is explicitly marked 'Students Do Not Report'. Aug 6, Oct 19 (parent-teacher conferences), Jan 5 and Mar 29 are listed as teacher administrative/professional development days, and students are presumably off but the document does not say so. Mar 8 is a K-8 half-day administrative day (spring parent-teacher conferences) and it is unclear how it affects student dismissal. Nov 3 (Election Day) is no school. Memorial Day and Juneteenth fall after the last day.
