First Day of School 2026

The first day of school on the Fremont Public Schools Calendar is Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting July 29. 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.

Because classes begin on a Wednesday, the opening week is only 3 days long. The first full week of school starts Monday, August 17.

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

These are the Fremont 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.
