School is out for summer, so one thing is on everyone's mind: when do we go back to school?

This year, perhaps more than ever, parents and kids alike are eagerly anticipating the return to a normal school year—with kids in school and at their desks. Below are the current school calendar plans for most of the major districts in the LA area. But be sure to check in with your school before the start of the year as dates may be subject to change. Also, each school district may have different rules for mask wearing, testing requirements, and online learning options.

The linked calendars also give you dates for winter and spring breaks, in case you're ready to start planning some family vacations. And if you're wondering about what other school options are available to you, our school guide can help.

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!
