Duval County Spring Break 2027: Dates and Days Off
Share
Duval County spring break 2027 is officially Monday, March 15 through Friday, March 19, 2027. Students actually get more: the last day of class is Wednesday, March 10, staff days fall on March 11 and 12, and students return Monday, March 22. All dates come from the official DCPS academic calendar.
That's 11 straight days off in the middle of March. The beaches know. The beaches have always known.
The full spring break stretch
- Wednesday, March 10: last day of class and end of the third grading period
- Thursday, March 11: professional development day, students off
- Friday, March 12: employee planning day, students off
- March 15-19: spring break, schools and admin offices closed
- Monday, March 22: students return
Heads up if you're comparing notes with friends in other counties: several calendar sites list Duval's spring break with different dates because they lump the staff days in differently. The district table is the one that counts, and it says March 15-19 with students out from the 11th.
March has two more days off
The month isn't done after break. Schools are closed Friday, March 26, which falls on Good Friday. Then Monday, March 29 is a weather day, meaning students stay home unless the district needs it to make up a storm closure. If the fall stayed calm, that's a four-day weekend one week after an 11-day break. March said what it said.
Booking travel around it
The Wednesday, March 10 last day means families can realistically leave Thursday morning and beat the weekend airport crowd. Coming back, you have until Sunday, March 21. Just confirm the weather days haven't been activated before treating March 29 as a bonus day.

Every other break this year is in our Duval County school calendar 2026-27 guide. If the road trip needs a pouch that keeps the chargers and the crayons separated, our Jacksonville school gear guide has two for $12 each. Check duvalschools.org before booking, since the district can revise dates.
