What Stands Out on the North Providence Calendar
Compared with the other Rhode Island districts on this site, using the same official calendars:
- 178 days in the school year by our count of the calendar, the fewest of the 14 Rhode Island districts we cover.
- 5 early release days; the Rhode Island districts we cover range from 0 to 18.
First Day of School 2026
The first day of school on the North Providence 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.
The district staggers the start by grade: First Day of School (PK & 1 - 9) on Mon, Aug 31; First Day of School (10 - 12) on Tue, Sep 1. Check which group your child is in before you book the first week.
