The Weber School District has officially released its academic calendar for the 2025–2026 school year, providing families, students, and teachers with a clear roadmap for the year ahead. With structured quarters, designated holidays, professional development days, and breaks strategically placed throughout the year, this calendar ensures a balanced pace of learning while allowing for important rest periods. Below is a complete breakdown of the academic year along with key highlights.
First Quarter: A Fresh Beginning (August 19 – October 23, 2025)
The school year kicks off on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, with an early-out schedule to help students transition smoothly. The first quarter covers 47 instructional days. During this time, students can expect a mix of excitement and adjustment as they settle into new classes and routines.
August also includes teacher contract and professional development days on August 13, 14, 15, and 18, when students do not attend. By mid-September, the first mid-term falls on September 16, giving teachers and students a checkpoint on academic progress.
A much-anticipated Fall Break arrives on October 16–17, offering families a chance for a short autumn getaway before closing out the quarter on October 23.
Second Quarter: Winter Approaches (October 27, 2025 – January 8, 2026)
The second quarter consists of 44 instructional days and begins on October 27, 2025. Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for October 13–14 (elementary) and September 24 (secondary), making this period especially important for academic feedback.
Students will also have a Comp Day on November 26, followed by a Thanksgiving Break from November 27–28. The holiday season continues with the Winter Break running from December 22, 2025, through January 2, 2026, giving families nearly two weeks off.
This quarter officially ends on January 8, 2026, just after a professional development day on January 9, which provides teachers with valuable planning time before the new term begins.
Third Quarter: Gearing Up for Spring (January 12 – March 20, 2026)
The third quarter spans 49 instructional days, beginning on January 12. A federal holiday on January 19 (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) provides an additional day off, followed by a mid-term check-in on February 10.
Elementary students will have early-out days on February 4 and 5 for conferences, with February 6 also set aside for an elementary-only early release. Secondary schools hold their mid-year conferences on February 25.
A highlight for high schoolers is ACT Day on March 11, a milestone event for college-bound students. Shortly after, the much-awaited Spring Break arrives from March 30 to April 3, giving everyone a well-earned pause before the final stretch of the academic year.
Fourth Quarter: The Final Push (March 23 – May 22, 2026)
The last quarter, running from March 23 through May 22, includes 40 instructional days. It is a busy period filled with both assessments and celebrations.
April features state testing mid-term assessments on April 21, while April 6 is observed as a Comp Day. Students will also get some time off for Easter-related scheduling around this period.
In May, elementary students showcase their talents at the Iron Kid/Math STEM Olympiad on May 14–15, fostering creativity and academic excellence. The last day of school falls on May 22, 2026, with an early-out dismissal marking the official start of summer break.
