109 Indiana calendars close Wednesday through Friday, giving students five continuous days off with the weekend. The 10 full-week closures also remove Monday and Tuesday from the school week. Madison Consolidated Schools starts Tuesday, while four calendars wait until Thursday.
What these dates cover
Each district appears once, using its districtwide or default student calendar. No 2026-2027 calendar is currently published for Kankakee Valley School Corporation, Mississinewa Community School Corporation, and Northwestern School Corporation. Those districts are not assigned dates in the tables.
A day counts as student time off only when there is no in-person or remote instruction. Early-release days, half days, conditional make-up dates, and closures limited to one school or grade do not extend the window.
Published labels such as Holiday, Vacation, or Fall Break are kept beneath the official dates. Numbered notes identify separate full-day closures that extend the continuous time off.
