What Parents in Lovejoy Should Know This Year
Two things stand out on this calendar. First, winter break is the longest break of the year at 19 calendar days, running from December 18 through January 5. Second, the official calendar consistently identifies March 15–19 as Spring Break. The Important Calendar Dates section lists March 15–19 as Spring Break, and the monthly March grid shades those dates blue, which the calendar key identifies as Student Holidays. Therefore, there is no discrepancy between the important-dates section and the monthly grid.

Planning a Family Trip? Best Times to Travel
Your longest break is winter break, which runs 19 days from December 18 to January 5. It is the best option for a longer trip, especially around the holidays. Spring break runs five days from March 15 to 19, 2027, and is a good window for a short vacation. Fall break (October 12 to 16) and Thanksgiving break (November 23 to 27) are also five days each. Both work well for a weekend getaway or a family visit out of town.
