Tired of manually tracking the HIDOE calendar? Never miss an early dismissal again.

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

Monday 3:15 PM

"Stuck on H-1 to Mililani - keiki hula starts in 10 minutes!"

Tuesday Morning

"Wait, is today a teacher PD day? Let me check... school started July 29?"

Wednesday Afternoon

"Flying to Maui for spring break - oh no, I booked during school week!"

Thursday 9 AM

"Good Friday is a Hawaii holiday? My mainland boss has me in meetings all day!"

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

Frequently Asked Questions about the 2025-26 HIDOE Calendar

When does the 2025-26 school year start and end for HIDOE schools?

The Hawaii Department of Education 2025-26 school year begins on Monday, August 4, 2025, and ends on Thursday, May 28, 2026. Teacher workdays (no students) are July 29 - August 1, 2025. This is earlier than many mainland districts, so military families who recently PCS'd to Hawaii should note the early August start date.

What are the major school breaks for HIDOE 2025-26?

Hawaii DOE has three major breaks: Fall Break (October 6-10, 2025), Winter Break (December 22, 2025 - January 2, 2026), and Spring Break (March 23-27, 2026). These breaks apply to all HIDOE schools statewide across Oahu, Big Island, Maui County (Maui, Molokai, Lanai), and Kauai. Perfect for planning inter-island trips or visiting family on the mainland!

Does Hawaii observe different holidays than the mainland? Which holidays will my keiki have off school?

Yes! Hawaii observes unique state holidays in addition to federal holidays. Your keiki will have school off for: Good Friday (April 3, 2026) and Prince Kuhio Day (March 26, 2026). Federal holidays like Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day are also observed.

How do semester dates work for HIDOE schools?

HIDOE operates on a two-semester system. Semester 1 runs from August 4 - December 19, 2025 (ending before winter break). Semester 2 runs from January 6 - May 28, 2026 (starting after winter break). The teacher work year mirrors this: Semester 1 is July 29, 2025 - January 5, 2026, and Semester 2 is January 6 - May 29, 2026. This applies across all seven HIDOE districts statewide.

What if I need to plan activities during school breaks? When exactly are fall, winter, and spring breaks?

Great question! Here are the exact dates for planning keiki activities like surf camp, hula competitions, or family trips: Fall Break is October 6-10, 2025 (Monday-Friday, perfect for a long weekend to Maui or Kauai), Winter Break is December 22, 2025 - January 2, 2026 (includes Christmas and New Year's, great for visiting mainland family), and Spring Break is March 23-27, 2026 (Monday-Friday, ideal for Big Island volcano tours or Neighbor Island adventures). Many families use these breaks for the Queen Liliuokalani Keiki Hula Competition or inter-island surf camps!

Are there early release days or professional development days I should know about?

Yes! Teacher professional development (PD) days happen before the school year starts: July 29 - August 1, 2025 (no students these days - teacher workdays only). Students' first day is August 4, 2025. Individual schools may also have early release days or school-specific PD days throughout the year, which vary by complex area. Check with your specific school for their early release schedule, but this calendar covers all the statewide HIDOE dates that apply to every school across Oahu's Honolulu/Central/Leeward/Windward districts, Hawaii District, Maui District, and Kauai District.
