FY2025 Innovative Schools Calendar
The calendar is responsive to community input by offering limited instructional disruptions and highlighting the system’s continued investment in our employees with the professional development learning days. The process is an opportunity to enhance the calendar in order to provide timely updates and information, make it more accessible to everyone, and use it as a tool for greater learning and understanding about the experiences of the members of our school community.
MCPS looks forward to gathering more input and feedback from our students, staff, and families as we work to build out the MCPS School Year 2025-2026 Calendar.
