Southington Schools Calendar: First Day of School 2026
The first day of school at Southington Schools is Thursday, August 27, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 24. Summer ends here for every family in the district at once, so the trip home and the final week of camp both have to fit before it.
The district staggers the start by grade: First Day of School for K-12 Students on Thu, Aug 27; First Day of School for Preschool Students on Mon, Aug 31. Check which group your child is in before you book the first week.
Because classes begin on a Thursday, the opening week is only 2 days long. The first full week of school starts Monday, August 31.

Southington Schools Calendar: Days Off and Short Weeks
Outside the long breaks, students here have 7 single days off during the school year, and 10 weeks are shortened by at least one day off. In total that is 24 weekdays with no school between August 27 and June 9.
As one parent put it on Reddit, there is no childcare service that covers one random day every other week. These single days catch working parents out more than any break, so every one is listed below by date, ready to book off or cover weeks ahead.
4 Mondays and 1 Friday are off outside the breaks, which turns them into long weekends. The rest land mid-week, which is when parents most often need a sitter or a day of leave.
- Labor Day: Mon, Sep 7
- Columbus Day: Mon, Oct 12
- Veterans Day: Wed, Nov 11
- Martin Luther King Day: Mon, Jan 18
- Good Friday: Fri, Mar 26
