USD230 Calendar: First Day of School 2026
The first day of school at USD230 is Monday, August 17, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 5. It is the date the last summer trip and the last camp week have to end by, and nonrefundable fares booked around a guessed date are the ones that hurt.
The district staggers the start by grade: First Day of Classes (PK-9) on Mon, Aug 17; First Day of Classes (10-12) on Tue, Aug 18. Check which group your child is in before you book the first week.
USD230 Calendar: Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring Break

Outside the long breaks, students here have 5 single days off during the school year, and 7 weeks are shortened by at least one day off. In total that is 25 weekdays with no school between August 17 and May 27.

The last day of school on the USD230 Calendar is Thursday, May 27, 2027.
What the USD230 calendar says about weather: "Inclement weather makeup date, if needed: April 26, 2027 [Day 10]". Hold the first week of summer loosely until make-up days are settled.
Since the year wraps up on a Thursday, the final week has 4 school days, and summer starts that Friday.
The first semester ends Friday, December 18, 2026, which splits the year into two halves for grading.
Grading periods as the calendar marks them: Grading period 1: August 17 – October 14 (about 8 weeks); Grading period 2: October 15 – December 18 (about 9 weeks); Grading period 3: January 4 – March 10 (about 9 weeks); Grading period 4: March 11 – May 27 (about 11 weeks). Report cards and conference weeks usually follow each end date.
