What Stands Out on the Coventry Public Schools Calendar

- 180 days in the school year by our count of the calendar; Rhode Island districts we cover range from 178 to 182.
- 18 early release days, the most of any Rhode Island district we cover.
First Day of School 2026
The first day of school on the Coventry Public Schools Calendar is Wednesday, August 26, 2026. Teachers report earlier, starting August 24. 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: BR-PreK & Grades:1,2,3,4,5,6,9 on Wed, Aug 26; First Day: WO-PreK & ALL Grades:1-12 (No K) on Thu, Aug 27; First Day: Kindergarten on Mon, Aug 31. 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.
