Springdale Public Schools Calendar 2026-27 Key Dates

The Springdale Public Schools school year runs about 40 weeks, from August 10 to May 20. These are the dates that decide flights, camp deposits and time off work, so they come first.

The School Year by the Numbers

Counted straight from the Springdale Public Schools Calendar dates: about 178 weekdays of school, 26 weekdays off and 17 early release or conference days between the first and last day.

What Stands Out on the Springdale Public Schools Calendar

Compared with the other Arkansas districts on this site, using the same official calendars:

• 178 days in the school year by our count of the calendar; Arkansas districts we cover range from 168 to 180.
• 17 early release days, the most of any Arkansas district we cover.

First Day of School 2026

The first day of school on the Springdale Public Schools Calendar is Monday, August 10, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 3. 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.

Breaks on the Springdale Public Schools Calendar: Fall, Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring

Springdale Public Schools builds 3 multi-day breaks into 2026-27. Each one comes with its full travel window, weekends included, so a five-weekday break shows up as the nine days you actually get.

Single Days Off and Short Weeks on the Springdale Public Schools Calendar

Outside the long breaks, students here have 6 single days off during the school year, and 5 weeks are shortened, either by one of those days or by part of a longer break. In total that is 26 weekdays with no school between August 10 and May 20.

4 of those single days are teacher workdays; they are listed in the teacher workday section further down.

2 Mondays and 3 Fridays are off outside the breaks, which turns them into long weekends. The other one lands mid-week, which is when parents most often need a sitter or a day of leave.

• Labor Day: Mon, Sep 7
• MLK Day: Mon, Jan 18

Long Weekends to Plan Around

Not every getaway needs a full break. Counting weekends, the year has 5 stretches of three or more days off outside the long breaks.

• Sat, Sep 5 – Mon, Sep 7 (3 days)
• Thu, Oct 15 – Sun, Oct 18 (4 days)
• Sat, Jan 16 – Mon, Jan 18 (3 days)
• Fri, Feb 26 – Sun, Feb 28 (3 days)
• Fri, Apr 23 – Sun, Apr 25 (3 days)

Teacher Workdays on the Springdale Public Schools Calendar

4 days during the school year are set aside for teacher training or planning with no students in class. Buildings are open for staff but not for children, so plan care for these the same way you would a holiday.

• Teacher PD - FLEX Day: Fri, Oct 16, Fri, Apr 23

Early Release Days on the Springdale Public Schools Calendar

Springdale Public Schools has 17 early release or conference days on the 2026-27 calendar, and 4 of them fall on a Monday. Pickup moves earlier on these days, so after-school care has to start sooner.

• Elem/MS P/T/S Conf.: October 12–14, February 22–25

Last Day of School 2027 on the Springdale Public Schools Calendar

The last day of school at Springdale Public Schools is Thursday, May 20, 2027.

What the Springdale Public Schools calendar says about weather: "Make-Up Snow Days". 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 10 – October 7 (about 8 weeks); Grading period 2: October 8 – December 18 (about 10 weeks); Grading period 3: January 4 – March 10 (about 9 weeks); Grading period 4: March 11 – May 20 (about 10 weeks). Report cards and conference weeks usually follow each end date.
