Berkley Schools 2023-24 Calendar

Berkley Schools 2023-24 Calendar 

The 2023-24 District Important Dates Calendar is posted to the Berkley Schools website. This calendar includes school starting before Labor Day, two weeks off for Winter Break, a full week for Mid-Winter Break, a full week for Spring Break and finishing the second week of June.

The State of Michigan mandates the number of student days and hours of school per year. Every district starts from that point and builds a schedule that tries to balance respect for major religious holidays, adequate breaks for students, time for professional learning, and traditions among other considerations. Berkley Schools also tries to follow the Oakland Schools common calendar as much as possible.

This year, the District calendar planning also had to accommodate the presidential primary election in late winter of 2024. The primary election will be either February 27 or March 12. The Michigan Legislature will not decide the actual date until well into next school year. To avoid calendar changes next year as well as to prevent voting in our schools while students are in session, both dates are scheduled as non-attendance days - one for staff professional learning and the other for conferences.
