[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spring break is in March in 2027 but in April in 2028. Tf?[/quote]

Where have you been, it always follows Easter. [/quote]

When was Easter and spring break last year?

A few years ago the survey gave the option of spring break connected to Easter or to emancipation day and parents picked emancipation day. Which sometimes also coincided with Easter but didn’t always. [/quote]

Now they are claiming that parents wanted the breaks to align with MoCo. [/quote]

This is nuts. Did they really say this? Where’s the feedback on that?

More likely: teachers who live in PG/MoCo complained about not being aligned [/quote]

How did DCPS create the SY 26-29 Calendars?

We want to thank the over 1,800 members of our community who shared feedback in the Fall 2024 survey. This feedback was critical in the finalization of these calendars. For example:

Community members shared a clear preference for aligning DCPS’ Spring Break with the anticipated Spring Breaks in neighboring Montgomery and Prince George’s counties. This change is now reflected in the calendars. 
Community members confirmed support for an extended two-week Winter Break beginning in late December and stretching into early January. 
Community members continued to share a preference for ending school before the Juneteenth holiday and scheduling parent-teacher conferences in the middle of the grading period/term. 
Consistent with feedback on past calendar surveys, caregivers continued to share that multiple partial weeks can be challenging for managing childcare. Whenever possible, we combined days off (i.e., holidays, professional development days, conference days) to minimize the number of partial weeks.   
In order to make these changes, the upcoming school year calendars now have school starting two Mondays before Labor Day.
