December 18, April 2 and May 26 end early
All three dates are marked for early release. December 18 ends the second nine weeks before Christmas holidays. April 2 is the Friday before spring holidays, and May 26 closes the student year and fourth nine weeks.
The calendar supplies no release clocks. Confirm each school’s pickup and bus times before arranging afternoon coverage. A grading-period ending on the same date does not replace the need for an explicit early-release notice.

October 8–9 and February 17 are conditional dates
October 8–9, 2026 and February 17, 2027 may become make-up attendance days if needed. The published schedule currently gives students those days without regular classes. A possible make-up designation alone does not mean attendance has been activated.
Leave flexibility around these dates when requesting care or booking travel. October 12–13 are the other published October holiday weekdays, followed by planning on October 14. February 15–16 are holidays, followed by the conditional February 17 planning date.

Planning days extend several student breaks
Labor Day is followed by a September 8 planning day without students. January 4–5 also have no student classes, before the published January 6 semester start. These closures affect families even though staff are working.
The expected returns below follow the published schedule before any make-up changes. March has its own holiday-plus-planning sequence rather than a single Monday off.

Report cards and family visits
Middle and high school open house is July 30, with primary and elementary open house July 31. The annual calendar does not give visit hours. Choose the date for your child’s school group rather than assuming one districtwide appointment.
Report cards are listed for October 15, January 6 and March 17. Those dates also follow extended student breaks. Reviewing the report when students return can help you identify questions before the next stretch of assignments.

Graduation follows the final early-release day
May 26 is the last student day; graduation is May 28. The annual calendar does not give a ceremony start time. Graduating families should follow the high school’s senior and guest instructions rather than treating graduation as another districtwide attendance day.
Final report cards are mailed June 4 if they were not sent home on the last day. That mailing date does not add a student school day. Use the full Brantley calendar page for printable and calendar downloads, and keep later make-up announcements with the original annual schedule.
