About SchoolDates
School-year dates of United States school districts, read from each district’s own published calendar and stamped with the date of the read.
Who publishes it
SchoolDates is published by BiLingoPlus LLC. It is meant to pay for itself with advertising one day; today there is no advertising network and no space set aside for one. It sells nothing. Page views are counted with Google Analytics 4, which records the page, the referring link, the kind of browser and device, an approximate location and, outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a device identifier, and by default how far a page is scrolled and which links to other sites are clicked, and which button that adds the dates to a calendar is pressed; we read those counts as totals per page, and there is nothing here to sign up for.
Why it exists
A district publishes its calendar once, in its own system, and the same dates then circulate on other sites, often with last year’s breaks moved forward a year and labeled “projected”. We read the calendar the district itself publishes, keep the district’s wording beside our own label, and print the day we read it, so you can see where each date comes from and how old the reading is.
Since when, and how much
SchoolDates has been online since September 29, 2026. It covers 997 districts in 47 states for 2026–2027. A district is added only once its own calendar can be read. A calendar is marked as partial on its page until its published dates include winter break, spring break, a first or last day for students, and dates through April; the methodology says which partial calendars are in search results.
How the dates are read
Our own program reads each district’s calendar feed, one request at a time, under a name that identifies this site, and it does not read what a site’s robots.txt file asks automated readers to leave alone. Each date gets a label (break, holiday, staff day, early release or term milestone), and the calendar is checked as a whole before it is published. The full method, including what we will not do, is on the methodology page.
When a date is wrong
Write to hello@schooldates.org with the district name, the date and, if you can, a link to the district’s own calendar. We check the report against the source. Where the fault is ours, we fix the rule that produced it, so every district read the same way is corrected at once, not just the one page. Each correction, with its date, the district, what changed and the rule behind it, is listed on the corrections page. Other ways to reach us are on the contact page.
