How to use a teacher calendar
- Enter the first and last day for students from your district calendar.
- Check the school-day count. Districts close for days that are not federal holidays, like winter and spring break and teacher work days, so subtract those or write them on after printing.
- Print it and mark report-card deadlines, parent conferences, testing windows and unit start dates.
- Keep a copy in your planner binder and one by your desk, so you can see how many weeks are left in each grading period.
Make yours in the calendar builder
For a fully custom version, open August 2027 in the builder, add breaks and deadlines as events (one color per type) and notes, then export all twelve months as a PDF. The builder exports January to December of one year, so a school year takes two exports.

How many school days are there in a year?
Most US states require about 180 days of instruction, but some count hours instead and the exact rule varies by state. The count above is weekdays minus federal holidays between the dates you set, so your district's breaks still need to come off.
Which federal holidays fall in the 2027–2028 school year?
Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day and Juneteenth (if school is still in session), all highlighted on the calendar.
