What Stands Out on the SAU 25 Calendar
Compared with the other New Hampshire districts on this site, using the same official calendars:
- 180 days in the school year by our count of the calendar; New Hampshire districts we cover range from 175 to 183.
- Winter break 2026 of 7 weekdays, the shortest among the New Hampshire districts we cover (they range from 7 to 10).
- No early release days, while 9 of the 13 New Hampshire districts we cover have at least one.
First Day of School 2026
The first day of school on the SAU 25 Calendar is Tuesday, August 25, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 20. 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.
Because classes begin on a Tuesday, the opening week is only 4 days long. The first full week of school starts Monday, August 31.
Breaks on the SAU 25 Calendar: Fall, Thanksgiving, Winter and Spring
SAU 25 builds 4 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.

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

Last Day of School 2027 on the SAU 25 Calendar

How the SAU 25 Calendar Compares in New Hampshire
SAU 25 opens after 1 other district in New Hampshire and on the same day as 1. The earliest start in the state is Hudson School District on August 24; the latest is Manchester School District on September 3.
It is also among the first to let out: no other New Hampshire district here finishes before June 11.
Winter break here is 7 weekdays, the same as most New Hampshire districts on this site.
12 other districts share the same spring break week, including Pinkerton Academy, Nashua School District, Exeter Region Cooperative School District. That matters if cousins or split households cross district lines.
Across the school year it gives 29 weekdays off; the typical New Hampshire district here gives 30. Its calendar lists no early release or conference days at all, where the usual New Hampshire district here has 2, so there are no scheduled early pickups to plan around.
Where the SAU 25 Calendar Dates Come From
We read the calendar Bedford School District posted on bedfordnhk12.net and copied each date as printed. The version used here was approved by the school board on January 26, 2026.
The link below opens the district’s own file, so any date here can be confirmed in one click. Add the calendar file to your phone once and the whole SAU 25 year sits next to your work meetings instead of in a file you have to dig up again.
