According to an email sent this morning to MCPS Principals and Central Services Leaders, detailing the updated end of year schedule which has also been sent out to staff and will be sent to families later this afternoon/evening.
“The school year will now be extended to Tuesday, June 17, with the last three days of school designated as early release days. This schedule will allow our staff important time to complete end-of-year work.
As a reminder: schools and offices were closed on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025, Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2025, Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025 and Wednesday, Feb. 12. The 2024-2025 MCPS school calendar includes 182 instructional days, two more than the state of Maryland’s minimum requirement of 180. “

“Montgomery County Public Schools petitioned the Maryland State Department of Education to waive a requirement to make up the remaining day, but the request was denied.
Therefore, the last day of school will now be Tuesday, June 17, with Friday, June 13, Monday, June 16, and Tuesday, June 17 all being early release days for students. This important change is to help accommodate staff schedules and end-of-semester grade reporting and professional development requirements in the final days of the school year. The final day for both students and educators is now Tuesday, June. 17. To assist with an efficient close to the school year, we ask that late makeup work be submitted to teachers no later than Friday, June 13.”
