Saint Louis Public Schools (SLPS) students are out Monday, Dec. 21, 2026 through Friday, Jan. 1, 2027, and School Resumes Monday, Jan. 4, as posted by the district in its 2026-2027 Calendar. Spring break is March 29-April 2, 2027, and the last day for students is Thursday, May 27, 2027.

The dates come from the district’s 2026-2027 Calendar PDF, linked from its calendar page, both read Nov. 13, 2026. The PDF prints no approval or issue date. Weekdays, stretches of days off and return days are our calendar check. The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 24, 2026.

How is SLPS winter break split in 2026?

The district splits the break by type of day. The calendar prints these lines:

DatesWeekdaysWhat the calendar says
Dec. 21-23, 2026Monday-WednesdayWinter Break (No School, School Staff Only; 12-Month Works)
Dec. 24-25, 2026Thursday-FridayChristmas (District Closed)
Dec. 28-30, 2026Monday-WednesdayWinter Break (No School, School Staff Only; 12-Month Works)
Dec. 31, 2026ThursdayWinter Break/District Closed
Jan. 1, 2027FridayNew Year’s Day (District Closed)

The “School Staff Only” days are the ones with no school but staff working; the “District Closed” days close the district. For students that adds up to 10 weekdays out, Dec. 21 through Jan. 1, or 16 days from Saturday, Dec. 19 to Sunday, Jan. 3 by our count. School resumes Monday, Jan. 4, 2027. Other districts in our winter break list return on other dates.

Which SLPS days are off for students?

Every day the calendar marks No School or District Closed, with weekdays. Entries before Nov. 13 are past.

Three more dates carry a different label. The calendar lists Friday, Oct. 23, 2026 as Record Keeping/Wellness, Friday, Jan. 15, 2027 as Record Keeping/PD and Friday, March 19, 2027 as Record Keeping/PD. Its text does not say whether students attend, so they are not in the table. Parent Teacher Conferences are listed Oct. 26-30, 2026 and March 22-25, 2027, and the PDF’s own wording does not say whether classes meet.

The district lists a 2-Hour Early Release (PD) on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026 and Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2027.

Which SLPS weekends run long in 2026-27?

By our count from the dates above:

StretchDays offWhy
Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2026Sat.-Tue.No School Nov. 2 and Election Day Nov. 3
Nov. 21-29, 2026Sat.-Sun.Thanksgiving week

March 26-April 4, 2027Fri.-Sun.No School March 26, then spring break
May 29-31, 2027Sat.-Mon.Memorial Day

The Nov. 2-3 days give a four-day weekend. The March 26 date plus the weekend and spring break makes 10 days in a row, with students back on Monday, April 5 by our reading. Compare Thanksgiving week across districts.

When does the SLPS school year end?

The calendar lists Friday, May 21, 2027 as the last day for seniors and Thursday, May 27, 2027 as the last day for students. Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, is District Closed. Tuesday through Friday, June 1-4, are listed as Snow/Makeup Days (if needed), so they are reserve days and not scheduled school days. The PDF lists Summer School Begins on Monday, June 7 and Last Day of Summer School on Friday, July 2, 2027.

What other SLPS dates are on the calendar?

High school finals are listed Jan. 11-14, 2027 and May 24-27, 2027, with Senior Finals on May 17-20. Quarter 2/Semester 1 Ends Thursday, Jan. 14, 2027, and Quarter 3/Semester 2 Begins Tuesday, Jan. 19.
