We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: Approved by the Fayette County Board of Education on June 23, 2025 (subject to change); the calendar page still links this file, posted July 2025. FCPS schedules weather make-up days at the superintendent's discretion and updates its online calendars after each announcement: March 19 is a no-class day that may become a make-up day, and May 27, May 28 and June 1 are possible make-up days after the last day (May 26), so the last day may move later. October 5, January 4 and April 12 (the Mondays after Fall, Winter and Spring Break) are printed as "No classes for students"; the district's online calendar (on the same calendar page) names them "No Classes; Staff Work Day", so they are listed as staff work days, and students return October 6, January 5 and April 13. The online calendar matches the PDF on every other date. No classes on November 3 (Election Day) and May 18 (election primaries). Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day. William Wells Brown Elementary, a Promise Academy school, follows a slightly different calendar; a separate preschool calendar is posted. The calendar states no number of student days.
