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: West Virginia state-format calendar posted on BoardDocs as '2026 - 2027 Final Board Approved School Calendar' (the page itself has a blank signature line and says 'Subject to change'). First Day For Students is 08/20/2026; the form's 'First Student Instruction 08/17/2026' is the start of the instructional term, and 08/17-08/19 are Professional Learning days. The form's 180 instructional days count the 5 Professional Learning days (8/17, 8/18, 8/19, 10/14, 1/4), which have no students, so the grid gives 175 student days and no student-day total is stated. 10/14, 1/4 (PL) and 3/17 (Curriculum Development) are no-school days for students. The week of 3/29-4/2/2027 is shown only as Out-of-Calendar Days and is not named Spring Break on the document. Dec 21-22 are Outside School Environment days and Dec 23-Jan 1 Out-of-Calendar days and holidays; school resumes Jan 5 after the Jan 4 PL day. 2-hour delay days: 9/16/2026, 1/19/2027 and 2/24/2027 (Teacher Prep), plus Faculty Senate delay days (10/7, 12/18, 2/3, 4/14). Memorial Day (5/31/2027) is after the last day; Presidents' Day and Juneteenth show no closure. Graduations are listed per high school May 24-27, 2027.
