What Stands Out on the Pinkerton Academy 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).
- 6 early release days; the New Hampshire districts we cover range from 0 to 7.
First Day of School 2026
The first day of school on the Pinkerton Academy Calendar is Wednesday, August 26, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 18. 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: Junior/Senior Opening Day on Wed, Aug 26; Freshman/Sophomore Opening on Thu, Aug 27. 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, August 31.
