What Parents in Summit County Should Know This Year
A few things stand out on the 2026-2027 calendar.
There is no fall break listed. The first long pause is Thanksgiving. Parent/teacher conferences fall on November 25, the day before the Thanksgiving Holiday on November 26–27.
Spring break has a built-in head start. Good Friday is March 26, 2027, and Spring Break runs March 29 – April 2, 2027. The third marking period ends March 25, so grades close just before the break.
January is packed. The second marking period ends January 14. Records Day is January 15. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is January 18. Staff Professional Development Day follows on January 29.
Plan childcare early for the no-school staff days: September 25, November 3, January 29 and May 4. Students also have no school on August 24, 25 and 26 before the first day on August 27.
The last day is June 3, 2027 for students and June 4, 2027 for teachers and staff.
How Akron Compares to Neighboring Districts
Akron students start on August 27, 2026, and get one full week for spring break plus a two-week winter break window (December 21 – January 1). Nearby districts in Summit County, such as Cuyahoga Falls, Stow-Munroe Falls and Springfield Local, set their own calendars. Start dates and break lengths often differ by a few days. We only publish dates checked against a district’s official calendar, so we left neighbor dates out here. If you share custody, work in another district, or have kids in two school systems, compare each official calendar side by side before you book anything.
