About School District U-46

School District U-46 begins classes on August 27, 2026, while preschool students start September 3. Families should note that November 23 and 24 are regular school days. Students are off November 25-27 for Thanksgiving, and the earlier institute days on November 2 and 3 also mean no classes.

Winter recess runs from December 21 through January 1, with students returning Monday, January 4. Spring recess is March 29-April 2, followed by a spring holiday on April 5 and an election-day institute on April 6. Classes resume Wednesday, April 7. Including weekends, that gives students 11 consecutive days without classes.

U-46 has scheduled 16 high school early-release dates between September 9, 2026, and May 26, 2027. These are school days, not days off, and the published calendar doesn't specify dismissal times. Families should check their high school's bell schedule when arranging transportation or after-school care.
