Christmas Day (Friday, December 25, 2026) and New Year’s Day (Friday, January 1, 2027) both fall inside the break.

Verified against Calvert County Public Schools’ official 2026-2027 calendar on September 29, 2026 (board-approved on May 8, 2025). Confidence: High.

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: Board-approved 5/8/25. Student first day is Tue Aug 25, 2026 (PreK & K have a staggered start Aug 27-28, with PreK & K conferences Aug 25-26). Last day for students is Wed Jun 9, 2027 (two-hour early dismissal). Seniors' last day is Fri May 14, 2027. Early dismissals are two hours (no PM 3-year-old PreK). Possible weather make-up days: 4/23, 6/10, 6/11 and days added to the end of the year; the Board decides if they are used. Apr 23 is no school unless needed. Nov 11 is printed as "Schools Closed for Students: Secondary Professional Learning / Elementary Parent Conferences" and is yellow (Schools Closed for Students) on the grid, so it is no school for all students. Nov 25 and Dec 23 are closed for students but printed as separate lines from the Thanksgiving and Winter Recess lines; they are included in those break ranges here (Thanksgiving itself is labeled Nov 26-27; Winter Recess Dec 24-Jan 1). Juneteenth (Jun 18, 2027) is after the last day. The document does not state the number of instructional days; the 190-day figure is for 10-month employees. Religious observance days (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha) are normal school days.
