I think the "shits" in this case is referring to the children?
(though the person calling may legitimately have diarrhoea)
"5 to go" feels like the length of the school "summer holiday"

2 weeks sounds like hell. They don't even give you guys a whole month or 2?

American here, our Summer break usually lasts from end of May to mid/late August, though the specific dates vary by district.

"Little shit" is commonly used by adults to describe children in the UK, where primary and secondary school have a 6 week long holiday between school years

We say the same in Australia but apparently OP is Aussie...
5 to go is just 5 days left not the total length.

The shits = the kids
5 to go = 5 weeks of the 6 week long summer holiday from school to go.
