LAUSD just released school calendars for the 2023-2024 school year, and already there's a change! A parent could get whiplash following along with when school will start, stop, and take breaks for the holidays. After a huge change that would shorten the winter vacation to two weeks, the three-week winter break will return for the next two school years. Changes in other school districts include Hermosa Beach moving its start date from a September 6 to August 24, and Norwalk opting to start August 17, a week later than in previous years.

Whew. Stay tuned, as we will update this if (when?) further changes occur!

School calendars for the largest school districts in Los Angeles County for the 2023-2024 school year are below, and you'll want to bookmark the page now for reference—especially when planning family vacations and booking summer camps. Follow the links for each district below for details on school holidays and semester breaks, and to stay up-to-date on any last-minute changes from your local district.

Note: Where two dates are listed it's because there are different dates for the elementary and HS students.

Please confirm all dates with your local school district, as they all may be subject to change.

With over 80 school districts in LA County alone, and many more in the surrounding areas, we haven't listed them all. We've tried to include the most populous districts, but may have missed a few. Are there any other school districts you would like us to include? Let us know!
