LAUSD 2017-18 School Calendar

Posted on by

lausd-2017-18-calendarWhen there’s so many pressing issues facing the Los Angeles Unified School District, it’s always good to trot out the calendar dilemma and go for a re-vote. So when, exactly, does school start next year? Here’s the low down for LAUSD students (including neighborhood schools, magnets, affiliated converted charters, language immersions and SAS programs):

First Day of School: August 15, 2017
Thanksgiving Break: November 23-24, 2017
Winter Break: Dec 18, 2017-Jan 5, 2018
Spring Break: Mar 26-30, 2018
Last Day of School: June 7, 2018

Calendar good for one year only. Look for a future vote on this never-ending debate.

*Independent charters can set their own calendars so dates will likely be different.

2017-18 Calendar

Oh, and for those already looking ahead to summer break, the last day of school this year will be Thursday, June 7, 2017. You’re welcome. 😉

Hey LAUSD Parents,

It’s bigger than a pop quiz! This survey will help decide the fate of our school calendar (First Day of School, Last Day of School, Holiday Breaks) for next fall and through 2019!

Your voice counts – please participate in the survey.

Online survey available NOW through Dec 6th.

Five little questions with big implications.

Here’s your test prep:

2016-19 LAUSD Instructional Calendar Survey Questions

Question 1: In your opinion, the school year should start:

  1. Early August
  2. Mid-August
  3. Late August
  4. After Labor Day
  5. It does not matter to me.

Question 2: The winter break should be:

  1. Two weeks
  2. Three weeks
  3. It does not matter to me.

Question 3: The District should explore a different, “modified early August” calendar. This option provides a four-week intervention during a shortened summer break. In addition, the winter break would be extended by four weeks to provide interventions. The winter break would last about seven weeks.

  1. I strongly agree
  2. I somewhat agree
  3. I neither agree or disagree
  4. I somewhat disagree
  5. I strongly disagree

Question 4: It is important that both elementary and secondary schools follow the same calendar.

  1.  I strongly agree
  2.  I somewhat agree
  3.  I neither agree or disagree
  4.  I somewhat disagree
  5.  I strongly disagree

Question 5: The first semester should end before the winter break.

  1. I strongly agree
  2. I somewhat agree
  3. I neither agree or disagree
  4. I somewhat disagree
  5. I strongly disagree

Ok, now you know what the questions are. Get to the SURVEY and get it done!

Please note: “Survey opinions will inform Los Angeles Board of Education members when voting to approve the calendar. Their decision will cover the next three years.” It will still come down to the School Board vote.
