2026–2027 Academic Year
School Calendar
Al-Khair tries to align our school calendar with Rochester Public Schools as much as possible, while also making sure our students and families receive three days off for each Eid.
First and last day of school
No school
How to read the calendar: Every date highlighted in red is a NO SCHOOL day, whether it is a holiday, curriculum day, conference day, professional development day, district-aligned break, or Eid break.

Calendar approach: We intentionally follow Rochester Public Schools’ calendar where practical to make planning easier for local families. Because Al-Khair is an Islamic school, we also reserve three days for Eid al-Fitr and three days for Eid al-Adha.
