Bowditch Middle School

Late May brings Memorial Day, and Bowditch closes in remembrance of fallen military service members. The holiday is observed on May 25, 2026, with no school in session. Memorial Day is recognized on the last Monday of May each year and serves as a national day of remembrance across the United States.

Celebrations, final projects, and farewells define the Last Day of School at Bowditch. Students wrap up the 2025 to 2026 academic year on June 10, 2026, marking the official end of classes. This date concludes the full schedule of instructional days outlined in the academic calendar and signals the start of summer break.

With students on summer break, Bowditch staff return for a focused Work Day dedicated to closing out the year. This all day event takes place on June 11, 2026, immediately following the last day of school. Teachers finalize grades, complete reports, and organize classrooms in preparation for the next academic cycle.

June 19 is recognized at Bowditch as Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. The school is closed on June 19, 2026, in observance of the federal holiday. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
