Brown Deer School District Calendar: Dates for 2026–2027
Photo: Brown Deer School District
The School District of Brown Deer publishes one unified family calendar covering students in K5 through 12th grade. Most dates apply throughout the district, while high-school exams and graduation are identified separately.
We reviewed the district’s official 2026–2027 family calendar to compile the important dates below. Families should continue checking the district’s calendar page because schedules can change during the year.
Brown Deer School Calendar
Key district dates for K5–12 families during the 2026–2027 school year.
Open House and Welcome Back Bash
Thursday, August 27, 2026
Brown Deer’s Open House and Welcome Back Bash gives families an opportunity to reconnect with the district before classes begin.
Check district communications closer to the event for building-specific times and activities.
First Day of School
Tuesday, September 1, 2026
September 1 is the first day for Brown Deer students in K5 through 12th grade.
Unlike some neighboring districts, Brown Deer lists one opening date for all grades covered by its family calendar.
District No-School Days
The official calendar lists the following no-school dates:
September 7
October 9
October 16
November 3
January 18 — Martin Luther King Jr. Day
January 22
February 16
March 12
April 6
May 7
May 31
Families should check district communications for child-care options, recreation programs and any school-specific details connected with these dates.
Homecoming Week
Monday, September 28, through Friday, October 2
Brown Deer’s Homecoming Week runs September 28–October 2.
Homecoming activities, theme days, athletics and event times will be announced separately by the district and Brown Deer Middle/High School.
Fall Conferences
Wednesday, October 14, and Thursday, October 15
Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for two days in October.
The family calendar identifies these as conference dates rather than district no-school days. Families should consult school communications for appointment times, student attendance expectations and whether conferences are held in person or virtually.
Friday, October 16, is a district no-school day.
Thanksgiving Break
Wednesday, November 25, through Friday, November 27
Students return Monday, November 30.

Winter Break
Wednesday, December 23, through Friday, January 1
Students return Monday, January 4, 2027.
The calendar lists January 4 as the official date when school resumes following winter break.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Monday, January 18, 2027
There is no school on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
First-Semester High-School Exams
Tuesday, January 19, through Thursday, January 21
High-school exams are scheduled immediately after Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Friday, January 22, is a no-school day, and the second semester begins Monday, January 25.
Students and families should consult Brown Deer Middle/High School communications for the daily exam schedule, dismissal times and transportation changes.
Second Semester Begins
Monday, January 25, 2027
Classes resume for the second semester following the January 22 no-school day.
February No-School Day
Tuesday, February 16
Brown Deer schools are closed February 16.
Because this closure falls on a Tuesday, families should note that the district calendar does not show February 15 as a no-school day.
Spring Conferences
Wednesday, March 10, and Thursday, March 11
The second conference period of the year is scheduled for March 10–11.
Friday, March 12, is a no-school day.
Check school communications for conference appointment windows and student attendance information.
Spring Break
Monday, March 22, through Monday, March 29
Students return Tuesday, March 30.
The Monday return date is easy to misread: March 29 is still part of spring break, so school does not resume until March 30.
Families staying close to home can explore:
April and May No-School Days
The spring calendar includes three additional district closures:
Tuesday, April 6
Friday, May 7
Monday, May 31
These dates can create child-care needs outside the district’s longer scheduled breaks.
Final High-School Exams
Monday, June 7, through Wednesday, June 9
Brown Deer High School’s final exams are scheduled during the final week of classes.
Families should watch for the detailed exam schedule and any changes to dismissal or transportation times.
Last Day of School
Thursday, June 10, 2027
June 10 is the last day for Brown Deer students in K5 through 12th grade.
The official family calendar does not label June 10 as an early-release day, so families should not assume an adjusted dismissal time unless the district announces one separately.
Brown Deer High School Graduation
Saturday, June 12, 2027
Brown Deer High School graduation is scheduled two days after the final student day.
Ceremony time, ticket information, arrival instructions and other details will be communicated by the school.
Summer School Begins
Monday, June 21, 2027
Brown Deer’s summer school program begins June 21.
Families should consult the district for registration deadlines, course availability, transportation and daily program times.
