The Washington County School District has released its master calendar for the 2026-27 school year, detailing essential dates for students, parents, and staff across the district. The schedule includes specific dates for holiday breaks, professional development, and student assessments to assist families with upcoming academic planning.
District Calendar Management
According to the Washington County School District, the 2026-27 calendar applies to the general district and excludes Enterprise Schools. The district has noted that while a master calendar is available, all individual school calendars are managed at the school level. Families are encouraged to check their specific school's website to ensure they have the most up-to-date information regarding local schedules.
Fall Break and Holidays
The calendar outlines several key dates for the fall semester. On Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, schools will be closed in observance of Labor Day. Following this, the district has scheduled a fall break on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, during which there will be no school services. Additionally, Monday, Oct. 19, 2026, is designated as a Legislative Teacher Prep/Professional Development Day, meaning students will have no school on that date.
Elementary Assessment Schedule
For elementary students in grades K through 5, the district has scheduled an Elementary Diagnostic Assessment for Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026. This event will result in a minimum day for all elementary schools. This assessment period is part of the district's academic tracking for the start of the term.
November Recess Day
The district's scheduling also includes a recess day in late November. On Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2026, the district will observe a SEP/SEOP Comp Recess Day, and school will not be in session. This provides a break for students and staff prior to the winter holiday season.
Additional District Resources
The Washington County School District provides multiple ways for stakeholders to access academic information. In addition to the master calendar, the district maintains resources for sports and activities, as well as specific calendars for Enterprise Schools. The Board of Education also maintains a dedicated section where meeting dates can be found by navigating to their specific page.
