Broward's 2026-27 year runs Monday, August 10, 2026 to Friday, May 28, 2027, with a week off at Thanksgiving, two weeks at winter break and one at spring break. What trips families up is everything in between: ten employee planning days with no school for students, six early release days, and a scattering of single Mondays and Wednesdays when schools are closed.
The table below is the district's calendar as published, with the district's own labels. Below it, how to get these days onto your phone next to the team schedules so the planning-day Monday stops being a surprise.
Source: Broward County Public Schools 2026/27 School Calendar and the School Board's 2026-2027 calendar synopsis (PDF). Last checked October 28, 2026. The synopsis notes that interim report and report card distribution dates may be subject to change.
Every date below is copied from the district's own published calendar, not estimated. Districts do revise mid-year, so confirm against the source before you book anything around a date.
35 published entries, 16 of them closures or breaks and 5 flagged early release. A single entry can cover a span of days. Labels are the district's wording.

Ten of them: the full week of August 3–7 before school starts, then October 12, November 3, January 4, March 19 and June 1. The district labels each one "Employee Planning Day – No School for Students", so they belong on your calendar alongside the holidays even though they are not holidays.
The district lists October 9, December 18, March 18, April 30 and May 28 as its severe weather make-up days — five of its six early release days (February 12 is the one that is not). The district's announcement describes the calendar as having "provisions for up to five severe weather makeup days", so if a storm closes schools, watch for the district to change what those days look like.
Single closed days like September 7, September 21, November 11, January 18, February 15 and May 31 appear only as "Schools and Administrative Offices Closed", and March 10 simply as "Schools Closed". This page keeps the district's wording rather than guessing at the occasion.
The synopsis sets the quarters at 43, 42, 50 and 45 days, starting August 10, October 13, January 5 and March 29. Report cards are issued October 21, January 13 and April 6, with the fourth-quarter card on May 24 for grade 12 and June 10 for grades K–11; interim reports go out September 9, November 10, February 16 and April 28. The district says these distribution dates may change.
The quick way: create a free Schedule Caddie account from this page and the 2026-27 calendar above is already on it as your own schedule — the version we verified on October 28, 2026, yours to edit. If Broward County revises the calendar later, upload the new version and you see exactly which days changed before approving them.
Doing it yourself, or a different district:
The district publishes this calendar as a document, not a feed you can subscribe to. Schedule Caddie reads that document for you: download the 2026-27 calendar from the district (the source link above), upload it as a PDF, PNG, or JPG up to 10MB, and it pulls out the no-school days, breaks, early releases with their dismissal times, teacher days, and the first and last day of school.
Nothing is saved until you have looked at it. Every day it found shows up as its own row with the date and label, you uncheck what you don't want and fix anything it misread, and only then does it land on your family calendar, color-coded as School so a holiday Monday reads differently from a 4pm practice. Team schedules you have added as calendar links keep refreshing on their own; the school year sits beside them.
Either way it travels like anything else on your Schedule Caddie calendar: subscribe to your Schedule Caddie link in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook and the school days come along.

The first day of school is Monday, August 10, 2026, after a week of employee planning days from August 3–7. The last day of school is Friday, May 28, 2027, which is also an early release day; June 1 is a final employee planning day with no students.
Thanksgiving break is Monday, November 23 through Friday, November 27, 2026. Winter break runs Monday, December 21, 2026 through Friday, January 1, 2027, with students back after the January 4 planning day on Tuesday, January 5. Spring break is Monday, March 22 through Friday, March 26, 2027, with the fourth quarter starting March 29.
Six: October 9 and December 18, 2026, and February 12, March 18, April 30 and May 28, 2027. The district calendar does not state the dismissal time, and five of these dates are also designated severe weather make-up days.
The synopsis says interim report and report card distribution dates "may be subject to change" with stakeholders notified. The severe weather make-up days exist precisely so that closures can be made up, so the early release days are the ones to re-check after any storm closure. We last checked the district's calendar on October 28, 2026.
