Note: Only for Early College at Guilford, Greensboro College Middle College and Middle College at UNCG. Revised by the Board of Education 8/11/2026. Starts Thursday, Aug 6 and ends Wednesday, May 26. Spring Break is Mar 9-12 (Mar 8 optional teacher workday), two weeks before the other GCS calendars, and Friday, Mar 26 is a separate 'Spring Holiday' (schools closed): shown in the page-2 grid and key-date list and on the district's online calendar, though the page-1 date list omits it. Teacher workdays (no school for students): Aug 20, Sep 21, Oct 30, Nov 3, Jan 4, Jan 25, Feb 15, Mar 8, Mar 19 and Apr 5. Jan 25 is a mandatory teacher workday on this calendar (date list and grid), but the district's online calendar marks that workday 'ECMCA only', i.e. a school day at these three schools; check with the school. No day count is stated; the dates give 179 student days (180 if Jan 25 is a school day).
