3FEBRUARY UPDATE – The Board of Education held an emergency meeting on Thursday, February 4, 2026 and took action on a Virtual Plan for inclement weather and make up days for lost instructional time. This calendar update aligns with the Board actions and accounts for six (6) of eight (8) make-up days. PGCPS continues to work on finalizing the recovery plan, to include the last day for students and teachers, in the coming weeks. This calendar is subject to change.
IMPORTANT CALENDAR NOTES – There are 180 student days and 192 teacher days (195 for new teachers). Last days for students and teachers are subject to change. 10- and 11-month employees can refer to Bulletin M-1-23 for clarification on workdays.
1INCLEMENT WEATHER MAKE-UP DAYS –If the school year is disrupted by emergencies and schools are closed, dates identified as possible make-up instructional days include: October 2, 2025, and March 20, May 27, June 15, June 16, June 17, 2026. If no emergency closure days occur, the school year will end for students on Friday, June 13, 2026, as shown.
Please note that if more emergency closures occur than there are available make-up days and/or there are a significant number of delayed openings and/or early dismissals used, the school calendar also may be adjusted appropriately to meet the minimum required student days AND the required number of student hours.
