Birmingham Schools Start August 31

Birmingham Public Schools will begin the 2026-2027 school year on Monday, August 31. The district calendar identifies August 31 as the first day of school for the district, which serves Birmingham and nearby participating communities. Families should use the district's published calendar and individual school communications for building-specific schedules, arrival information and other first-day instructions. The first day is a scheduled district event and marks the return of regular classes after the summer break. No separate start time is listed on the district calendar page.
