Moorhead Area Public Schools School Calendar 2026-2027

At a Glance

ISD is a suburban school district with 16 schools. The first day of school is August 31. Moorhead High School's teams are nicknamed the Spuds — a nod to the region's long history as a major Red River Valley potato-growing area. The district has said a complete 2026-2027 calendar — including teacher workdays — will be published soon. This calendar includes 5 early-release or half days — useful to know when planning childcare.
