About Community Unit School District 200

The calendar lists Wednesday, August 18, 2027, as the first day for kindergarten and Early Childhood. Grades 1–12 are shown on a regular schedule that day, but the document does not separately label their first day. Families with older students should confirm opening instructions with their school.

Students have no classes Friday, October 8, for districtwide parent-teacher conferences or Monday, October 11, for Columbus Day / Indigenous People's Day. That gives families four consecutive days off, including the weekend. Friday, November 5, is another institute day without classes. Thanksgiving recess is November 22–26, with students returning November 29.

High-school first-semester finals are marked complete December 22, 2027. Winter break runs December 23 through January 4, followed by a no-school staff day on January 5. Students return Thursday, January 6. Spring break runs March 27–31, with classes resuming April 3. Good Friday, April 14, is a separate no-school day two weeks after spring break ends.
