About Community Unit School District 200
Grades 1–12 have their first full day on Friday, August 14, 2026. Kindergarten begins Monday, August 17, and Early Childhood begins Tuesday, August 18. Families with children in different programs have three separate start dates to plan around. Kindergarten hours also depend on whether a child attends a morning, afternoon or all-day session.
October brings a four-day stretch without classes: districtwide parent-teacher conferences on Friday, October 9, followed by the October 12 holiday. The calendar also marks conferences on October 8, when classes remain in session. November 2 (Institute Day) and November 3 (Election Day) are both no-school days. Thanksgiving recess runs November 23–27, with students returning November 30.
Winter break runs December 23 through January 5. January 6 is still a no-school day: grades 6–12 have a teacher work day, while Early Childhood through grade 5 have an institute day. Students return Thursday, January 7. Good Friday on March 26 falls immediately before spring break, March 29–April 2. Classes resume Monday, April 5.
