It depends on your district: 279 of the 554 school districts we track (50%) have no school on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, and 274 are open.
Of the closed districts, 259 close for Veterans Day itself, 8 have a teacher workday (no school for students), 1 is on a break that week and 11 list it only as a day off.
Veterans Day is a federal holiday, but each school district sets its own calendar, so some close and others stay open.
1 district is closed for some grades only.
2 open districts have an early release that day.
3 districts mark it as a possible weather make-up day, so school may be held if snow days are used.
