Monthly Calendar Breakdown
August 2026
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, August 10 | First Day of School — Classes Begin | All students return |
August Summary: One instructional event this month. School launches August 10. Get your school supply shopping done well before this date. Clark County summers are hot, so early morning drop-offs are highly recommended in August.
September 2026
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, September 7 | Labor Day | No School |
| Monday, September 21 | Staff Development Day | No School for Students |
September Summary: Two no-school days this month. Labor Day falls on September 7 — a long weekend for families. The September 21 Staff Development Day is students-only off. Teachers are still working that day, so do not expect a family trip that Monday.
October 2026
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, October 9 | End of First Grading Period (44 Days) | Report cards coming |
| Monday, October 12 | Elementary Parent-Teacher Conferences | No School for Elementary Students Only |
| Friday, October 30 | Nevada Day Observed | No School |
October Summary: A busy month for Clark County families. The first grading period wraps up on October 9 after 44 instructional days. Elementary parents should mark October 12 — it is a no-school day for elementary students only, with conferences scheduled. Nevada Day on October 30 means no school for everyone. That makes the weekend of October 30 a nice three-day break heading into November.
November 2026
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday, November 3 | Election Day / Staff Development Day | No School for Students |
| Wednesday, November 11 | Veterans Day | No School |
| Wednesday, November 25 | No School | First Contingency Day if needed |
| Thursday–Friday, November 26–27 | Thanksgiving Day and Family Day | No School |
November Summary: November is the most school-day-light month of the fall semester. Students get four days off across the month. The Thanksgiving break runs Wednesday through Friday (November 25–27), giving families a five-day weekend when combined with the weekend. The November 25 date is also listed as the First Contingency Day, meaning it could be used as a makeup day if the district needed it for emergency closures earlier in the year.
December 2026
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, December 18 | End of Second Grading Period (45 Days) | — |
| Friday, December 18 | End of First Semester (89 Days) | — |
| Friday, December 18 | Winter Break Begins — End of Day | — |
| December 21 – January 1 | No School (Winter Break) | Full winter recess |
December Summary: December 18 is a triple-milestone day — end of grading period, end of first semester, and the start of winter break all on the same Friday. Winter break runs from December 21 through January 1. That is two full weeks away from school. Great time for family travel or holiday gatherings. The Clark County Schools Calendar 2026-27 template places the semester split cleanly here, which makes second-semester planning straightforward.
January 2027
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, January 4 | Staff Development Day | No School for Students |
| Monday, January 4 | Second Semester Begins | For staff |
| Tuesday, January 5 | Classes Resume | Students return |
| Monday, January 18 | Martin Luther King, Jr. Day | No School |
January Summary: Students come back on January 5, not January 4. That Monday is reserved for staff development as the second semester officially kicks off. Then MLK Day gives everyone another break on January 18. Two no-school days in the first three weeks of the new year.
February 2027
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, February 15 | Presidents’ Day | No School |
February Summary: One no-school day — Presidents’ Day on February 15. Otherwise February is a full instructional month. A good time to keep students focused before the push toward spring break.
March 2027
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, March 12 | End of Third Grading Period (46 Days) | — |
| Friday, March 12 | Spring Break Begins — End of Day | — |

| Monday, March 22 | Classes Resume | — |
| Friday, March 26 | No School | Second Contingency Day if needed |
| Monday, March 29 | Staff Development Day | No School for Students |
March Summary: March is the most break-heavy month of the spring semester. The Clark County Schools Calendar spring break 2027 runs from March 15 through March 19 — a full week off. Combined with the March 12 early release and March 22 return, families have a solid recess window. Note that March 26 is a potential contingency day, and March 29 is a staff development day with no school for students. That means students are only back for three school days between March 22 and March 29 before another long weekend.
April 2027
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| — | No Events Listed | Full instructional month |
April Summary: No scheduled holidays or breaks in April per the official CCSD calendar. This is a full instructional month — 20+ teaching days. A good stretch for teachers to cover material before end-of-year assessments.
May 2027
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Thursday, May 20 | End of Fourth Grading Period (43 Days) | — |
| Thursday, May 20 | End of Second Semester (91 Days) | — |
| Thursday, May 20 | Last Day of School (180 Days) | — |
| Friday, May 21 | Third Contingency Day (if needed) | — |
May Summary: School ends on Thursday, May 20, 2027 — completing exactly 180 instructional days. May 21 is reserved as the Third Contingency Day if emergency closures earlier in the year required makeup time. Graduations, end-of-year ceremonies, and class parties will cluster around this final week.
Always double-check and verify calendar dates from the official CCSD website before making travel or childcare plans. School calendars can be revised mid-year due to emergency closures or district decisions.

About Clark County School District (CCSD)
Clark County School District is one of the five largest public school systems in the entire United States, serving the greater Las Vegas metropolitan area in Southern Nevada. The district enrolls more than 300,000 students across over 350 schools, including elementary, middle, high schools, and magnet and specialty programs. CCSD is known for its robust Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways, dual-enrollment college programs, and a diverse multilingual learner population that reflects the cultural richness of Las Vegas. The district serves urban, suburban, and rural communities across Clark County, from downtown Las Vegas to Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, and beyond.
What Parents in Clark County Should Know This Year
One thing stands out immediately when you look at the Clark County Schools Calendar 26-27 closely: March is unusually packed. Spring break ends March 19, classes resume March 22, and then students have only three instructional days before a potential no-school day on March 26 — followed immediately by another no-school Monday on March 29 for staff development. That is a choppy stretch for students trying to regain routine after spring break. Parents of younger children especially should plan for that transition carefully. Also worth noting: the first semester ends on December 18, which is earlier than some neighboring districts. That means report cards and academic standings are finalized before winter break — giving families the holiday period to address any academic concerns before second semester begins in January.
How Clark County Compares to Neighboring Nevada Districts
Clark County starts school on August 10, 2026, which is relatively early compared to Washoe County School District in Reno, which historically begins its school year in the last week of August. Douglas County School District, serving the Carson Valley area, also tends to start later than Clark County. On the back end, Clark County’s May 20 last day is earlier than several rural Nevada districts that run into late May or early June. This means CCSD families generally get a longer summer break on the front end — at least by a week or two compared to northern Nevada counterparts. Spring break timing is roughly aligned across major Nevada districts, typically falling in mid-March.
Planning a Family Trip? Best Times to Travel in Clark County
If you are looking to plan family travel around the Clark County Schools Calendar 26 27, here are your best windows. Winter break is the longest single stretch — December 21 through January 1, giving you 12 days. This is ideal for longer trips but expect peak pricing since it aligns with the national holiday travel season. Spring break (March 15–19) is a full week and historically more affordable than winter break for domestic travel. The Thanksgiving window (November 25–27 combined with the weekend) gives you a solid five-day stretch that works well for domestic road trips or visits to family. For budget-conscious families, the Nevada Day weekend at the end of October is often overlooked but offers a quiet three-day break with lower travel costs.

School Closings History in Clark County
Clark County is in the Nevada desert, so snow days are extremely rare — the district has historically used almost none of its contingency days for weather-related closures. However, CCSD has used contingency days in recent years for events including extreme heat warnings, air quality issues, and public health emergencies. The 2026–2027 calendar builds in three contingency days (November 25, March 26, and May 21) as a buffer, which reflects the district’s cautious approach to scheduling given Nevada’s unpredictable climate events and the lessons learned from COVID-era disruptions.
