About Springfield Public Schools District 186

Every Wednesday with classes on District 186’s traditional calendar has a 60-minute early dismissal, starting August 26. Thursday, October 22 and Tuesday, December 22 are the only two additional early-release dates. October 22 also has parent-teacher conferences, while October 23 has no classes for students. Check your school’s regular dismissal time before arranging pickup.

District 186 does not take the full week off for Thanksgiving. Students attend November 23–24 and dismiss an hour early on November 25. There are no classes November 26–27. Winter break starts December 23; January 4 is a teacher institute day, so students return January 5.

Finals appear on the traditional calendar December 18, 21 and 22, 2026, and May 26–28, 2027. December 22 and May 26 also have 60-minute early dismissal; May 28 is not marked as an early-release day. The calendar does not identify which grades or courses take exams on those dates, so follow your school’s exam schedule.
