Terms of Use
Last updated: April 2026
On this page
CalendarStates.com is free to access and use for personal and non-commercial purposes. If you're a parent, student, teacher, or anyone else trying to figure out when school starts or what days are off — you're in the right place and there are no restrictions on doing that.
By using the site, you agree that you're not going to use it in any way that damages it, disrupts it, or tries to compromise its security. That's it. For most people, this is never a consideration.
The school calendar data itself — the dates, the district names, the holidays — comes from public sources. Public information can't be copyrighted, and we're not trying to claim it. Those are just facts.
What is ours is the presentation layer: the site design, the formatted calendar views, the color-coded layouts, the interactive features, the CalendarStates.com logo and branding. Please don't lift those wholesale. A link back to the source page is always the right move.
If you're writing an article, building a resource for parents, or doing anything educational and want to use our formatted calendars, just ask. We're usually flexible when the use is genuinely for public benefit.
We're a secondary source. Every district page on this site links to the primary source — the official district website or their published calendar PDF. That official source is always the authoritative version.
We work to keep our data accurate, but we're not infallible. If you see something wrong, tell us. And for anything that matters — booking travel, making childcare arrangements, planning around a specific day — please confirm with the official district source before committing.
See our Disclaimer for more on this.
Please don't scrape this site. We put real work into gathering, formatting, and maintaining this information, and automated harvesting puts load on our servers without any benefit to actual users.
If you have a legitimate reason to access our data programmatically — say, you're building a school calendar tool and want to partner — reach out through the contact page and let's have a conversation. We're not opposed to data partnerships; we just want to know what you're building.
We do allow normal search engine crawling. The restriction is on bots that are harvesting data for commercial use or scraping at a rate that impacts other visitors.
The site is free and runs on ads through Google AdSense. Using an ad blocker is your call — we're not going to nag you about it or gate content behind paywalls. But if you find the site useful, leaving ads enabled is the easiest way to help keep it running. See our Privacy Policy for details on how advertising works on this site.
We might add features, update the design, remove outdated content, or change how things work. We might also update these terms if something changes that's actually worth updating them for. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when we last made a meaningful change.
We're not going to change the terms in a way that's materially worse for users and hope nobody notices. If something significant changes, we'll be transparent about it.
If anything here is unclear, or if you have a use case that doesn't fit neatly into "permitted" or "not permitted," just get in touch. We'd rather have a conversation than have someone either avoid using the site unnecessarily or unknowingly misuse it.
