MDPS is a suburban school district with 11 schools. For the 2026-2027 school year, classes begin September 3 and end June 22. Montclair Public Schools operates a districtwide magnet system — one of the oldest voluntary desegregation magnet programs in the United States, launched in the 1970s — in which every public elementary school has a distinct academic theme. This calendar includes 3 professional development days, 12 early-release or half days — useful to know when planning childcare.
