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: Adopted by the Board of Education on November 4, 2025 (Pre-Labor Day Start). Orientation for students entering grades 6 and 9 is Thursday, August 27; the first full day of kindergarten is Wednesday, September 2. If there are no emergency closures, the last day for students is Monday, June 14, 2027. Each emergency closure adds a make-up day, in order June 15, 16 and 17, so the last day can move as late as Thursday, June 17, which the printed calendar marks as the last day if all three make-up days are used (schools close 3 hours early on June 16-17); beyond three closures BCPS uses virtual learning days. Seniors' last day is Friday, May 21. The professional development days of September 21, March 10 and May 17 fall on Yom Kippur, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples' Day (October 12) and Veterans Day (November 11) are school days. Commencement exercises run May 24-29 and June 1-5. 181 student days for middle and high schools (180 for elementary), not counting the three make-up days.
