Kansas City Kansas Public Schools School Calendar 2026-2027

At a Glance

KCK is an urban school district with 43 schools. For the 2026-2027 school year, classes begin August 13 and end May 13. Kansas City Kansas Public Schools was established on May 10, 1886, and is the only district in the nation to fully equip all of its buildings with SafeDefend, an electronic alerting system that instantly notifies law enforcement and activates lockdown features at the touch of a button. The calendar sets aside 6 additional days (April 2–May 24) that may be used as weather makeup days if needed. This calendar includes 76 professional development days, 6 early-release or half days — useful to know when planning childcare.
