Palm Beach County public schools are closed for Veterans Day, so students will not be in class. Most private schools remain open.
The day off is the fifth break for public school students since the 2026-2027 school year began on Aug. 10.
Families have more time away from class ahead. The November holiday break starts Nov. 23 and runs for five days. The winter break begins Dec. 21 and covers eleven school days.
Parents will also need to plan for the Monday after winter break. District teachers have long negotiated that day as a planning day, so students will not return until Jan. 5, 2027. That means one more day of child care for many working parents while other workplaces are open.
