Johnston Schools 2026-27 calendar: every no-school day, break, early dismissal, and conference on one screen.

Johnston school calendar 2026-27: the numbers

Some stretches to plan around: fall has three Monday no-school days (Sep 28, Oct 12, and Oct 26). In November the K-5 conferences are Tuesday evening and the all-grades conferences are Thursday, with a 3-hour early out that day and no school that Friday, then Thanksgiving break two weeks later. In March, the Mar 12 comp day sits right in front of spring break, so with the weekends that is ten days in a row without school.

Whichever you use, the district's page is where a changed date shows up first, so check back before you plan around a date near a break.
