Hurricane Make-Up Days Palm Beach County is in a hurricane-prone region. When storm closures occur, PBCSD may convert Fall Holidays (September 21, November 11), Professional Development days, or Spring Break days into make-up school days to recover lost instructional time. The Superintendent communicates make-up day decisions through the district website and local media. Monitor palmbeachschools.org and local stations like WPTV and WPBF for announcements.

Official PBCSD 2026-27 School Calendar

Tired of Manually Tracking Dates? Never Miss an Early Dismissal Again.

We know West Palm Beach parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:

Sunday, 8:30 PM

"A tropical storm brushed Palm Beach County on Thursday and Friday. You need to know if tomorrow is a regular school day or if PBCSD converted the September 21 Fall Holiday into a hurricane make-up day. You check The Palm Beach Post and WPTV but the district has not posted a final decision yet."

Monday, 6:45 AM

"You wake up thinking it is a normal school week, but today is the November 3 Professional Development Day. Your child is dressed and ready, you have already merged onto I-95 from PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, and your office in downtown West Palm Beach has no childcare backup."

Wednesday, 3:00 PM

"Your elementary schooler's trimester ends November 2 while your high schooler's nine-week quarter ended October 9. You missed the parent-teacher conference window for one child because you confused the two grading calendars."

Thursday, 9:00 PM

"You are trying to book a family trip during Spring Break, but you cannot remember if PBCSD's break is the week of March 22 or the same week as Broward County. You check three different websites before finding the official PDF calendar."

Friday, 7:15 AM

"Your ex-spouse in Boca Raton says the kids have no school next Wednesday for a Spring Holiday on March 10, but you are not sure if that is correct. You have to find the PBCSD calendar PDF and zoom into the March grid to verify before adjusting your custody schedule and commute down Federal Highway."

The reality: Checking PDFs and the PBCSD website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...
