Glastonbury Public Schools Calendar: First Day of School 2026
The first day of school at Glastonbury Public Schools is Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 31. 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, GRADES 7-12 on Wed, Sep 2; FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, GRADES K-6 FULL DAY on Thu, Sep 3. Check which group your child is in before you book the first week.
Because classes begin on a Wednesday, the opening week is only 3 days long. The first full week of school starts Monday, September 7, although it has a day off in it too.
Glastonbury Public Schools Calendar: Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring Break
These are the Glastonbury Public Schools breaks to plan around first. Each line gives the weekdays off and the full travel window with weekends added, which is the stretch airlines and rentals price.

Glastonbury Public Schools Calendar: Days Off and Short Weeks
Outside the long breaks, students here have 8 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 September 2 and June 14.
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.
5 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.

- Yom Kippur: Mon, Sep 21
- Columbus Day: Mon, Oct 12
