What Stands Out on the BWRSD Calendar
Compared with the other Rhode Island districts on this site, using the same official calendars:
- 180 days in the school year by our count of the calendar; Rhode Island districts we cover range from 178 to 182.
- Winter break 2026 of 7 weekdays, the shortest among the Rhode Island districts we cover (they range from 7 to 10).

First Day of School 2026
The first day of school on the BWRSD Calendar is Monday, August 31, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 27. 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.
