Lee's Summit Schools Begin Classes

Lee's Summit R-7 Schools will begin classes for the 2026-27 school year on Wednesday, August 26. The district calendar identifies the date as the first day of school, following beginning-of-school workshops scheduled for August 19 through 25. The first day affects student routines, family schedules, school transportation, and traffic around campuses across the district. Families should use their individual school communications for start and end times, bus information, and school-specific instructions, since the districtwide calendar does not provide those details.
