Official DOE Calendars
The statewide dates on this site are transcribed from calendars published by the Hawaiʻi State Department of Education. The current source documents are:
- 2026–2027 official school calendar — Approved June 1, 2023; Amended on March 30, 2026.
- 2027–2028 official school calendar — Approved May 15, 2025.
- 2028–2029 official school calendar — Approved May 15, 2025.
The DOE calendar library is the place to check for a newer publication. On the homepage, select a year to see that calendar’s source version and the date we checked it.
What the Calendar Includes
The homepage brings together the first and last student days, fall, winter, and spring breaks, other listed student no-school days, and semester and quarter dates. Printable PDFs and ICS files use the same published dates.
School-Specific Conditions
The statewide calendar excludes Holomua Elementary and public charter schools. Confirm their dates directly with the school.
- Institute Day: one day with no students per island falls within the printed selection window. The entire window is not a school break; each island’s date is to be determined.
- School planning and collaboration: two instructional days become non-student days. Their dates are not specified in the statewide calendar.
- Senior schedules: where the printed calendar provides a senior exception, the standard final day is identified as applying to K–11. Seniors should confirm their own school’s final day.
These conditions remain notes in the downloads. We do not assign a statewide closure date where the official publication leaves the date to an island or school.
How We Handle Updates
When the DOE publishes a revised calendar, we compare it with the version used here, review the affected dates and conditions, and update the page and downloads together. Important dates should be checked against the latest official publication before making plans.
Report a Correction
Please send the school year, date or event that needs review, and a link to the newer official DOE or school publication. Include the school, island, or grade when the issue concerns a school-specific date. A public source link lets us verify the change and gives other readers the same reference.

Independent Resource
Hawaii School Calendar is an independent informational website. We do not issue official calendars or school attendance decisions. For a school’s activities, closures, or student schedule, contact the school directly.
