June 10 – Santa Fe Public Schools recently released the final calendar for the 2024-2025 school year, which begins on August 9 and ends on May 22, 2025.
The calendar has a total of 175 teaching days. The precise number of student learning days has been a source of uncertainty throughout the 2023-2024 school year after the New Mexico Public Education Department proposed a rule requiring 180 days of instruction in schools across the state.
A judge has since halted the 180-day rule pending further litigation, a move that returned schools to the status quo. The final calendar “reflects legal requirements,” Superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez said in a news release.
During the 2024-2025 school year, students can expect a full week off for Thanksgiving and spring break and two weeks off for winter break, as well as a few other holidays throughout the year.
“Parents and students are eager to know what lies ahead,” Chavez said. “The calendar provides the framework for learning and necessary information for families to plan their summer, Thanksgiving, winter and spring vacations.”
