What This Florence Board of Education Guide Covers

Calendar intent

Florence City Schools Calendar: 2026-2027 Student Calendar and District Events

The official School Calendar – 2026-2027 page is the safest route for next-year planning. Use it for school-year dates before scheduling travel, child care, work leave, medical appointments or family events.

Florence City Schools also has a public calendar for district events, athletics and board-related event listings. If you need one school’s event, check that school’s page as well because school-level activities may not always appear the same way as districtwide calendar dates.

Student calendar

Use this for school-year planning, breaks, start/end timing and broad family scheduling.

District calendar

Use this for district events, athletics items and public calendar entries.

Board meetings

Use the Board of Education page for the regular monthly board meeting pattern.

School events

Use individual school pages for building-level programs, concerts, ceremonies and announcements.

Calendar warning: Do not plan from an old image or downloaded file without reopening the official page. District calendars can be updated or corrected after a file is first posted.
