Note: Adopted 12-9-2025 (printed on the calendar). Followed by every district school except Johnston County Early College Academy and the Career & Technical Leadership Academy, which have their own calendar. The student calendar marks every no-school day as OFF; day types come from the district's companion staff calendar (215 staff days, 169 student days; the student calendar's quarter counts 38+39+47+45 also total 169) and its online event calendar. Sept. 25 and Mar. 15 are required county workdays, Oct. 19 a required school workday and Nov. 3 an optional workday, all with no school for students. The online calendar names Feb. 15 'President's Day - No School for Students' (a required county workday for staff), Nov. 25-27 Thanksgiving Holiday, Dec. 21-Jan. 4 Christmas Holiday/Winter Break (classes resume Jan. 5) and Mar. 26-Apr. 5 Spring Break. Early dismissal on Dec. 18, Mar. 12 and May 26 (last day). No inclement-weather make-up days are designated (the staff calendar's Inclement Weather key lists no dates), and the online calendar has no graduation dates yet. Kindergarten has staggered entry Aug. 26-27, with the first full day Aug. 28. Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day. johnston.k12.nc.us shows a browser check to this network: the calendar and document pages and the event calendar were read on the district's Apptegy host and content service (the Calendars page button 'Printable Districtwide Calendars' leads to the linked folder), and the PDF was downloaded directly from the district's Google Drive link.

Source: Johnston County Public Schools ECA/CTLA Student Calendar 2026-27 (adopted 1/13/2026) (PDF) · district calendar page

Note: Only for Johnston County Early College Academy (ECA) and the Career & Technical Leadership Academy (CTLA); adopted 1/13/2026 (printed on the calendar). Students have no school Oct. 12-16 and Mar. 8-12 (the student calendar marks both weeks OFF and the district's online calendar lists both as 'No School for Students'). The district's ECA/CTLA Staff Calendar (adopted 1-13-26, revised 9-8-2026, same Printable District Calendar folder) labels Oct. 12-14 'Fall Break' (Oct. 15-16 are staff leave days), so the October week is stored as Fall Break; the March week is not named there. Mar. 26 is a holiday; unlike the traditional calendar there is school on Feb. 15 and during the traditional Spring Break (Mar. 29-Apr. 5). Christmas Holiday/Winter Break runs Dec. 21-Jan. 4 (classes resume Jan. 5). Aug. 11-14 and Jan. 5-8 are ECA/CTLA classes only (no JCC classes); JCC classes start Aug. 17 and Jan. 11. Exam weeks: Dec. 14-18 and May 17-21. The calendar prints quarter counts of 44, 41 and 43 days but no total. Memorial Day (May 31) falls after the last day. Read like the traditional calendar: the PDF was downloaded from the district's Google Drive link in the same Printable District Calendar folder.
