Spring 2027 dates to plan around
These US federal holidays fall in the first half of 2027. Your district may add its own days off.
| Date | Holiday |
|---|---|
| Friday, January 1, 2027 | New Year's Day |
| Monday, January 18, 2027 | Martin Luther King Jr. Day |
| Monday, February 15, 2027 | Presidents' Day |
| Monday, May 31, 2027 | Memorial Day |
| Friday, June 18, 2027 | Juneteenth (observed) |
Spring break isn't a federal holiday, so dates vary. Some districts tie it to Easter, which falls on Sunday, March 28, 2027. Others use a fixed week in March. Add your district's dates under Holidays and breaks.
How to print a second semester planner
- Check the school year. Make sure the calendar's last day and your spring breaks are right.
- Set the semester start. Type it into Second semester starts, then click Semester 2.
- Update your classes. Many teachers get new sections in January. Edit the classes for each rotation day.
- Choose pages. Weekly pages are the planner. Add monthly calendars for long-range planning and the cover for a binder.
- Download. Print double-sided, or tick month tabs for a clickable digital planner.
New semester, new rotation?
Some schools re-sync the rotation at the start of the second semester, for example by declaring the first day back an A day. Click that date in the calendar, choose Make this day → A Day, and the rest of the semester follows from it. If your school uses snow days that don't move the letters, choose Skip this day's letter for each closure.
Mid-year planner tips
- Print only through spring break first. If snow days shift the rotation, the later weeks are still blank and easy to regenerate.
- Add notes for testing windows, report-card dates and early releases so they appear on the weekly pages.
- Mark state testing days as No-rotation school days if your school suspends the A/B schedule for them.
