APS calendar- 26-27

[Anonymous]

16 full weeks of school next year. 24 weeks with at least one half day (or more off). Not counting the full week of winter break or spring break.

I personally have liked having the additional holidays because it makes me more aware of various celebrations, but no wonder I feel like we're constantly pivoting and the kids can't quite get into a rhythm. There are more irregular weeks than regular weeks of school!

Also, there are only 3 religious holidays next year, so that cannot be blamed for the crazy APS calendar.

When do we think winter break is going to start in Dec 27 and Dec 28?

The 27-28 calendar is out! Winter break 27-28 is two weeks! https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/sites/57/2025/04/2027-28-SCHOOL-CALENDARS-FINAL.pdf

As for 28-29 because 28 is a leap year Christmas is going to skip back to Monday so that break will probably be a little short but start on Dec 21 instead of Dec 23. The last time Christmas, New Years Day were on Mondays in 2023-24 the break went Thursday, Friday, following week and New Years Day.
