Lincoln Public Schools School Calendar 2026-2027

At a Glance

LPS is an urban school district with 76 schools. For the 2026-2027 school year, classes begin August 26 and end June 16. The calendar sets aside 3 additional days (June 17–June 22) that may be used as weather makeup days if needed. The calendar also notes several religious observances (Rosh Hashanah (begins at Sundown on 9/11), Yom Kippur (begins at Sundown on 9/20)) for awareness — school stays in session on these days. This calendar includes 2 professional development days, 9 early-release or half days — useful to know when planning childcare. The last day of school is tentatively set for June 16, but may move if the district needs to use weather makeup days.

Also known as LPS.
