2025-2026 Academic Calendars 2025-2026 Academic Calendars

Please save these calendars to your phone for planning purposes.

These calendars have been revised to convert teacher workdays February 16 and May 15 to instructional days. PSRC Early College High School converted its February 13 date to an instructional day. Doing so helps make up for instructional days missed for students in the winter weather and time missed by hourly employees.


We understand that changes to the calendar may require adjustments for families, and we appreciate your flexibility and continued partnership as we work to ensure instructional time is met for all students.
