First Day of School 2026
The first day of school on the Andover Public Schools Calendar is Thursday, August 13, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 4. 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, grades 1-6, 9 and new students in grades 10-12 on Thu, Aug 13; First day, grades 7-8 and 10-12 on Fri, Aug 14; First day, Kindergarten, Pre-K and Early Learning on Tue, Aug 18. Check which group your child is in before you book the first week.
Because classes begin on a Thursday, the opening week is only 2 days long. The first full week of school starts Monday, August 17.
