Note: Adjusted calendar adopted by the Board of Education on April 30, 2026 (181 instructional days per the board-adopted calendar). Monday, August 24, 2026 is a Student Transition Day only for some students (family calendar: grades K, 1, 6 and 9 and students new to MCPS; list-view calendar: students entering grades K, 6 and 9, grade 3 in schools serving only grades 3-5, and students new to a school or MCPS); August 25 is the first day for all grades. November 23-24 are early release days for parent/teacher conferences. Inclement weather make-up days, in order: April 22 and May 17 (both currently no school), then June 14-17 added to the end of the year. The April 30 amendment moved the last day from Wednesday, June 16 to Friday, June 11 (superintendent's memo of April 30, 2026). The June footnote of the board-adopted month-grid PDF and the side list of MCPS's Comprehensive Calendar still show the old June 16 date, but every calendar grid, the adopted calendar's header and quarter table, and the list view give June 11. Schools on MCPS's separate Innovative calendar follow different dates; its linked PDF (July 7, 2026 - June 16, 2027, adopted January 22, 2026) predates the April 30 amendment.
