About Berrien County Schools
Fall break lasts Monday and Tuesday, October 12–13. Students have digital learning on Wednesday, October 14, so families should plan for schoolwork that day rather than a third holiday. The next expected day back on campus is Thursday, October 15. Before the year begins, open house falls August 3 and the first student day is August 5. Berrien Primary School also had a school-specific digital learning day on August 17; a district notice confirmed that its students would return to the building August 18.
Thanksgiving holidays cover November 23–27. December 18 brings early release before Christmas holidays, December 21–January 1. Students also have January 4–5 off for staff in-service and return Wednesday, January 6. February’s winter break is February 15–16, with classes expected to resume February 17. Spring break crosses the month boundary, March 29–April 2, followed by an April 5 return. The year ends Friday, May 21, with early release and graduation. Neither the December nor May early-release entry gives a pickup time, and the annual calendar leaves graduation arrangements to later announcements.
