FCPS is proposing four drafts of the calendar for the 2023-24 school year. The School Board is scheduled to approve a final 2023-24 calendar on February 9, 2023.
We invite the public to share feedback on the drafts by completing this brief feedback form. Please review each draft calendar and respond to the questions.
The feedback form will close on Monday, February 6, at noon. More information about the calendar development process can be found on our
website. We value your voice.
Note: All four drafts fulfill the state requirement to
provide 180 days OR 990 hours of instruction.
- Spring break is the same length and timing in all four draft versions. This is one week before Easter to align with surrounding jurisdictions
- Veterans Day is a holiday in all four drafts.
- All four drafts have a three-day Thanksgiving break.
- Religious holidays and observance days that fall on a school day are treated equally across all four calendars.
- All drafts, except the purple calendar, have the same number of professional development days. The purple calendar has three additional professional development days.
Please note, for each of the options (Blue, Orange, Green, Purple) we have drafts for the next three school years.
