Bowditch Middle School

As spring approaches, Bowditch dedicates a full day to professional growth through this late March Staff PD Day. Taking place on March 27, 2026, the day is reserved for staff training and collaboration. Positioned just before Spring Break, the timing allows educators to reflect on student progress and refine plans for the final stretch of the school year.

Warmer days and a mid semester reset arrive with Spring Break at Bowditch. No classes are held from March 30 through April 6, 2026, giving students and staff a full week away from campus. Placed near the final quarter of the academic year, this break offers time to recharge before testing, projects, and end of year activities begin.

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.
