Bellmore-Merrick Calendar Notes

Bellmore-Merrick starts with a secondary-school transition week before regular classes. August 25 is for 7th & 9th Grade Orientation, August 26-27 are Superintendent's Conference Days with no student classes, and August 28 is Schools Closed. Students begin on September 1, 2026, and June 25, 2027 is the final day listed for both teachers and students. Spring is split into two named breaks: Easter Recess on March 25-29 and Spring Recess on April 22-30. May 28 is a Designated Snow Day, so that Friday depends on snow-day use rather than operating like a fixed holiday. Rosh Hashanah and Lunar New Year are shown as observances but fall on Saturdays.
