School Countdown

Pick the last day of school — or the first day back — to see the days and weekdays left, then make a live countdown for your class, your kids or yourself.

Make your school countdown

Name it, pick a date, and share the link. Everyone who opens it sees the same live countdown.

On the classroom screen

Press Fullscreen on the countdown for a big, readable clock on the projector or smartboard. It keeps the screen awake and celebrates at zero.

Make one for each milestone — exams, the class trip, the last day — and share the links on your class page.

How many school days are left?

The form shows the weekdays between today and your date as soon as you pick it. School calendars add holidays, breaks and teacher workdays that a countdown can't know, so subtract those for an exact count.

Back to school

Counting the other way? Enter the first day of the new school year instead — the countdown works the same.

Frequently asked questions

How many days until the last day of school?

Your district or school sets the date, so check its calendar, then enter it above: the days and weekdays left appear instantly, and the countdown gives you a live clock to share.

Can I show the countdown to my class?

Yes. Create it, open it on the classroom computer and press Fullscreen. The display stays awake in browsers that support it.

Does it count school days or calendar days?

Both, roughly: the countdown itself counts calendar days, and the form shows the Monday-to-Friday days in between. Holidays and breaks aren't known, so subtract those yourself.

Is it free, and do I need an account?

It is free and there is nothing to sign up for. The countdown lives entirely in its link, so anyone you send it to sees the same live clock without installing anything.
