Here’s the 2024-25 school year calendars for all Marion County districts

There’s at least 180 instruction days each school year for students in elementary, middle and high schools across Indiana. State law requires it. 

Sprinkled throughout the regular classroom schedule are breaks, holidays, parent/teacher conferences, and teacher professional development sessions. Additionally, there are occasions when virtual learning or asynchronous instruction days are scheduled.

The calendars for Marion County school districts are simillar in that all have longer breaks throughout the school year paired with shorter summer vacations.
