Nevada school calendars vary by district, but these three dates come up constantly when schools publish their “no school” days. Below are the 2026 holiday dates, plus a Clark County School District (CCSD) example (Las Vegas area) you can use as a reliable reference point.
Key Holiday Dates for Nevada Schools 2026
Holiday | Date (2026) | CCSD status (student calendar) |
Martin Luther King Jr. Day | Monday, Jan 19, 2026 | No school |
Presidents’ Day | Monday, Feb 16, 2026 | No school |
Nevada Day (Observed) | Friday, Oct 30, 2026 | No school (observed) |
Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2026 (Nevada schools)
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is Monday, January 19, 2026. In CCSD, it’s explicitly listed as “Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (No School)” on the student calendar.
If you sub in Southern Nevada, treat this as a predictable zero-assignment day for many schools (at least within CCSD).
Presidents’ Day 2026 (Nevada schools)
Presidents’ Day is Monday, February 16, 2026. CCSD marks it as “Presidents’ Day (No School)” for students.
Other Nevada districts often align with this Monday holiday, but always confirm on your local district website.
Nevada Day 2026 (Observed)
Nevada Day is a state legal holiday: it’s October 31, but observed on the last Friday in October.
In 2026, that observed Friday is October 30, 2026. CCSD’s 2026–2027 student calendar lists “Nevada Day Observed (No School)” and shows Friday, October 30 among the key dates.
What these holidays mean for substitute teachers
The day before a holiday often gets noisy (appointments, travel, early departures).
The day after a holiday can spike (lingering travel delays, sick days, coverage gaps).
The holiday itself is usually quiet (no assignments).
Practical play:
For MLK Day (Mon 1/19) and Presidents’ Day (Mon 2/16), target Friday + Tuesday as the high-probability edges.
For Nevada Day (Fri 10/30), the edges are typically Thursday + Monday.
Disclaimer: District calendars can change due to emergency closures, board updates, or revised contingency days. Always verify the final dates on your district’s official calendar PDF before planning travel or commitments.
