About Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205

Teacher conferences do not mean a districtwide day off. High school students have no classes on October 23, middle school students on November 6, and elementary students on November 24. Each group has an evening conference session the previous day. The elementary closure falls immediately before Thanksgiving Break on November 25-27.

Late arrivals follow two separate schedules. Early Childhood, elementary and middle schools have 14 dates, ending May 12, 2027. High school has 32 dates, ending April 28. These are school days with later arrival times, not days off. Families should check their school's bell schedule, especially for preschool and kindergarten sessions.

Winter Break runs December 21, 2026-January 1, 2027, with classes scheduled to resume January 4. Friday, March 26, is a separate holiday with no student classes before Spring Break (March 29-April 2). Including both weekends, students are off March 26-April 4. October 9 and February 26 are teacher institute days without student classes.
