Inside the 2024–2025 school year
The 2024–2025 school year on PrintCalendars opens on Monday, August 26, 2024 and closes with commencement on Friday, May 16, 2025. The structure follows the standard American two-semester layout used by most US public school districts and four-year colleges: a fall semester roughly seventeen weeks long, a winter recess of two to three weeks, and a spring semester of comparable length that ends in early May with finals and a graduation weekend.
The fall semester begins on August 26 with first-day-of-school activities and runs through December 13. Major fall closures include the Labor Day federal holiday on September 2, a fall break in mid-October, and the multi-day Thanksgiving recess that anchors the back half of November. The spring semester opens on January 13, 2025 and runs through May 9, 2025, with the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in mid-January, Presidents' Day in mid-February, a one-week spring break in mid-March, and final examinations the first week of May.
Federal holidays on this calendar
The 2024–2025 calendar marks every US federal holiday observed by the Office of Personnel Management for the relevant year, including Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, and Juneteenth. Holidays whose statutory date lands on a Saturday are observed federally on the preceding Friday; those that fall on a Sunday are observed on the following Monday. Both dates are noted on the printable layouts.
Printing tips
Each monthly calendar in this academic year is designed to print cleanly on US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) and ISO A4 (210 × 297 mm) paper at 100% scale. Use your browser's Print dialog, choose portrait or landscape to match the layout you opened, set margins to Default, and disable headers and footers for the cleanest result. Holiday shading uses a warm amber that prints crisply on both color and grayscale printers.
