Every break this school year
Hopewell Valley Regional School District breaks for 2026–27. Days off in a row include the weekend around each break.
Magic Windows
A Magic Window is a 4–5 day school break that also falls during a calmer stretch of our Disney World crowd calendar, with every day rated 1 Magical or 2 Smooth. Here is the Magic Window on the Hopewell Valley school calendar through 2027.
Memorial Day Weekend 2027
Every day is rated 1 Magical or 2 Smooth on our Disney World crowd calendar. This break includes possible snow make-up days, so those extra days off depend on whether they're needed during the school year.
