Updated for 2024-25 School Year – list of start and end dates with major holidays & school breaks
As a parent, the question we ask toward the end of summer is, “when do you go back to school?” So here is a simple listing of the biggest dates for each school district to help you out. This Florida School Calendar shows the major days off of school and does not include teacher workdays, single holidays or minor holidays.
We actively work to update this list. Please remember that due to un-expected circumstances such as hurricanes and possible changes in the pandemic closures, dates are subject to change. See Disclaimer at end of calendar. 2024-2025 school calendar dates are added below based on the calendar from the individual Florida school districts. This date is subject to change so please be in direct contact with your school or school district for the latest updates and to verify dates.
