What Parents in Hennepin County Should Know This Year
Start with the biggest surprise. Spring break is more than one week this year. Friday, March 26 is a no-school day. Spring break runs Monday, March 29 through Friday, April 2. Then Monday, April 5 is another no-school day for planning and grading. Students return Tuesday, April 6. That is 11 days in a row away from class if you count both weekends. If you searched for Minnetonka Public Schools Calendar spring break 2027, this is the full picture.
Next, watch the fall. Conferences are Thursday, October 8 and Friday, October 9. One week later, there is no school Thursday and Friday, October 15–16, for teacher statewide meetings. That makes two short school weeks in a row. The district also schedules four extra hours of conferences by site during the weeks of October 5 and/or October 12, so check with your child’s school.
Winter follows a similar pattern. Winter break starts Wednesday, December 23 and runs through Friday, January 1. Monday, January 4 is also a no-school day for professional learning. Classes resume Tuesday, January 5.
Spring conferences repeat the fall pattern. Thursday, March 4 is an evening session, and Friday, March 5 is a no-school day. Four more hours are scheduled by site the weeks of March 1 and/or March 8.
Two no-school dates tie to religious observances: Monday, September 21 for Yom Kippur and Wednesday, March 10 for Eid. Other observances on page two are not closures, but absences may run higher on those dates.
Kindergarten families should note the start. Assessments are September 1–2, and kindergarten begins Thursday, September 3.
Quick Planning Tips for Parents and Teachers
Mark Friday, November 6 and Monday, January 25 first. Both no-school days come right after a quarter or semester ends, so they make easy long weekends. Teachers should know that November 6, January 25, and April 5 are planning and grading/PLC days. January 4 is a professional learning day. June 9 is a full-day teacher workshop after students finish. Paraprofessionals have professional learning days on October 9 and January 25. Families who work the same hours as the district office should also note the extra closures on the calendar, such as December 24–25, January 1, June 18, and July 5.
How Hennepin County Compares to Neighboring Districts
We only publish dates we can verify, so we are not listing numbers for other districts. The Hopkins School Board has approved its 2026–27 calendar, according to the Hopkins Public Schools website. We could not confirm official 2026-27 start dates or spring break dates for Hopkins, Wayzata, or Eden Prairie directly from their own district sites. Here is how to compare on your own. Check the first day of school, the number of no-school days around conferences, and how long spring break runs. Minnetonka’s benchmark is a September 1 start, a March 29–April 2 spring break wrapped by no-school days on March 26 and April 5, and a June 8 finish. Open each neighboring calendar beside this page and compare line by line.

Planning a Family Trip? Best Times to Travel in Hennepin County
Winter break is the longest stretch. Spring break is second. Thanksgiving is short but handy for a quick trip.
| Break | Students out of school | Back in class |
|---|---|---|
| Winter break | Wednesday, December 23, 2026 through Monday, January 4, 2027 (13 days with weekends) | Tuesday, January 5, 2027 |
| Spring break | Friday, March 26 through Monday, April 5, 2027 (11 days with weekends) | Tuesday, April 6, 2027 |
| Thanksgiving break | Wednesday, November 25 through Sunday, November 29, 2026 (5 days with the weekend) | The Monday after Thanksgiving weekend |
| Four-day weekend | Thursday–Friday, October 15–16, 2026 | After the weekend |
| Three-day weekends | September 7, October 9, November 6, January 18, January 25, February 15, March 5, May 31 | The next school day |
Book early if you plan to fly during winter break or spring break. Keep in mind that Western Easter falls on March 28, 2027 per the district’s observances page, inside the spring break stretch. Trips outside these windows mean missed class days, so check with your child’s school first.
