Approved 2026-27 School Year Calendar

In alignment with the shared goal of the Calendar Committee and the School Board to establish a two-year calendar cycle, the School Board approved the 2026-27 school calendar at its meeting on March 13, 2025. The 2026-27 calendar closely mirrors the approved 2025-26 calendar and was developed using the same guiding principles and informed by community feedback gathered during the 2025-26 calendar development process. The 2026-27 school year will begin for students on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, and end on Thursday, May 27, 2027.

Approved Adjustments to the 2026-27 Calendar

On March 12, 2026, the Albemarle County School Board approved two adjustments to the 2026-27 school calendar:

  • The September 2026 professional learning day will move from Friday, September 25, to Tuesday, September 8 (the day after Labor Day).
  • The February 2027 professional learning day will move from Tuesday, February 16, to Tuesday, January 19 (the day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day).

These adjustments support the operational and instructional needs of our schools without adding any days to the calendar for students or teachers.

The revised calendar also identifies possible weather make-up days and the order in which they will be used, if needed.
