Jordan School District Calendar 2026-27: Winter Recess Dec. 21-Jan. 1

Jordan School District in Salt Lake County, Utah has no school for students on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, and Wednesday, Nov. 25 to Friday, Nov. 27, 2026, by its 2026-27 School Year Calendar, last updated Sept. 17, 2026. This is the Utah district that serves the South Jordan, West Jordan, Riverton and Herriman area. Winter Recess runs Dec. 21, 2026 to Jan. 1, 2027, and the last day of school is Friday, June 4, 2027 for most students.

The dates below come from the district’s PDF date list. The district’s Planning & Enrollment page says the Board of Education approved a revision on April 28, 2026, and an April 30 memo explains two changes covered further down.

Jordan School District breaks and recesses in 2026-27

Weekdays off are our count from the district’s dates, and return days are our reading of the calendar.

Teacher Professional Development Day	Fri., Nov. 13, 2026	1	Mon., Nov. 16
Thanksgiving Recess	Wed., Nov. 25 to Fri., Nov. 27, 2026	3	Mon., Nov. 30

Plan the week on the November 2026 calendar. The printed date list gives Winter Recess as “Monday, December 21, 2026 - Friday, January 1, 2026”; the closing year is a misprint, and the district’s own month grid shows Dec. 21-31 and Jan. 1 as “No School - Winter Recess”. The grid has no entry for Monday, Jan. 4, which is why we read it as the return day.

When is Jordan School District’s winter recess in 2026-27?

Monday, Dec. 21, 2026 to Friday, Jan. 1, 2027, ten weekdays. Students return Monday, Jan. 4, 2027 by our reading of the grid. Compare other districts in the winter break dates by school district, and the Denver Public Schools calendar.

What did the April 30 memo change in Jordan School District’s calendar?

The district memo “Change to 2026-27 School Year Calendar,” dated April 30, 2026, says the Board of Education approved updates “to comply with recent legislative changes.” Friday, Feb. 5, 2027, the Health & Wellness Day, “is no longer a student instruction/virtual day” and became a Teacher Professional Day, so students have no school. Friday, April 16, 2027 was a Teacher Professional Development Day and is now a regular Friday schedule for all students.

Which Jordan School District days apply only to some students?

High schools list two tentative testing days: Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, already past, and 11th Grade ACT Testing, also marked tentative, on Tuesday, March 16, 2027, when 11th graders attend the morning only and 10th and 12th graders have no school. Spring parent-teacher conferences are Wednesday, Feb. 10 to Thursday, Feb. 11, 2027; the calendar does not say whether students have school those days. The elementary grid marks “Early Out” days, mostly Fridays, and gives no times. The calendar also lists Monday, June 7, 2027 as an “Emergency Make-up Day / Check-out Day for Teachers,” after the last day of school.

When does the Jordan School District school year start and end?

The first day is Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2026 for high schools, with 7th Grade Orientation the same day. Elementary (grades K-6) and middle school (grades 8-9) start Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2026. The last day is Friday, June 4, 2027 for elementary, 8th and 9th grade and high school, and Thursday, June 3, 2027 for 7th grade. High school graduations run Tuesday, June 1 to Thursday, June 3, 2027.
