First Day of School 2026
The first day of school on the Glastonbury Public Schools Calendar is Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 31. 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 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.
