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: Read via Web Archive capture of May 14, 2026, which is older than 60 days: hcps.org does not respond from this network. That capture is of the file the district Calendars page linked in May 2026 as 'Color Coded Calendar 2026-27'. The district has since posted new 2026-27 files (Student Calendar, Color Coded Calendar and Calendar at a Glance, ids 8869, 8872 and 8877) that could not be read or found in the archive. Every date below was confirmed on Sept. 26, 2026 against the district's live online event calendar (the HCPS District Events feed shown on its school websites at hcpsschools.org), which lists the same closings, professional development days, early dismissals, make-up days, first and last days and quarter ends. The calendar shows closings by color without naming the breaks: Nov. 26-27, Dec. 24-Jan. 1 and Mar. 22-29 are Scheduled Closings for schools and offices, as are Nov. 3 (general election day) and Nov. 11. First day: Aug. 31 for grades 1-12; the event calendar gives kindergarten half-day gradual entrance Sept. 1-2 (first full day Sept. 3) and PreK half-day gradual entrance Sept. 8-9 (first full day Sept. 10), where the May color-coded file marked Sept. 2 and Sept. 9. Last day: June 17 for grades K-11 (3-hour early dismissal); PreK ends June 15. The event calendar lists no graduation dates. Professional development days (Sept. 21, Oct. 16, Nov. 2, Dec. 23, Apr. 9) are no-school days for students. March 1, June 1 and April 12 are closed unless needed for inclement weather make-up, used in that order. 3-hour early dismissals: Oct. 15, Oct. 30, Nov. 25, Jan. 29, Feb. 26, Apr. 8 and June 17. Quarter counts (44+48+42+46) total 180 student days. June 18 is a scheduled closing after the last day.
