The 2031–2032 school year calendar shows August 2031 through July 2032 on one page with the US holidays most schools close for, from Labor Day on Monday, September 1, 2031 to Memorial Day on Monday, May 31, 2032. Leaving out federal holidays and the day after Thanksgiving, August through June has 228 weekdays available for school.

A common pattern: the two weeks around Christmas Day (Thu, Dec 25) and New Year's Day (Thu, Jan 1), back in class Mon, Jan 5. Exact days vary by district.
180 instructional days is the most common state minimum; some states set a minimum number of hours instead. A 180-day calendar uses 180 of the 228 available weekdays from August 1, 2031 to June 30, 2032, leaving 48 for winter and spring break, teacher workdays, other closures and the summer weeks in August and June.
Example: a 180-day calendar with semesters and quarters
Example only, not an official calendar. It assumes a first day of Monday, August 18, 2031 (the third Monday of August), closures on every federal holiday and the day after Thanksgiving, the typical winter break in the table above and a spring break the week before Easter. Day 180 then falls on Tuesday, May 25, 2032, and each quarter has 45 school days.

Frequently asked questions
When does the 2031–2032 school year start?
Each school district sets its own first day; there is no national start date. Most US public schools start between early August and the week after Labor Day (Monday, September 1, 2031). Many districts in the South start in early August, while many in the Northeast start after Labor Day.
When does the 2031–2032 school year end?
Most districts finish between late May and mid-June. The last day depends on the district's first day, its breaks and the number of instructional days its state requires; days lost to snow or other emergency closures are often made up at the end of the year.
How do I print the 2031–2032 school calendar?
Use the Print button: the 12 months, August 2031 to July 2032, fit on one landscape page and the rest of the page is left off. The PDF is US Letter landscape and lists the holidays, the typical winter break and the two spring break options beside the calendar.
How do I fill in this school calendar template?
Mark your district's first and last day of school, teacher workdays, early-release days, parent-teacher conferences and testing windows, then check each date against the calendar your school board adopted, since every district sets its own breaks and make-up days.
