Calendar Notes
Charles County starts students on August 25, 2025, one day before Calvert and five days after St. Mary's. Its listed last day is June 17, 2026 with a two-hour early dismissal, which is later than both Calvert's amended June 12 and St. Mary's June 9 K-12 ending. The At-A-Glance calendar is marked subject to change and does not provide an explicit inclement-weather make-up list, so late-year changes should be verified if closures occur.
The break pattern is family-friendly but not identical to neighboring Southern Maryland systems. Thanksgiving Holiday Break runs November 26-28, Winter Break runs December 22-January 2, and Spring Break is March 30-April 2, followed immediately by Good Friday and Easter Monday closures on April 3 and April 6. That creates a longer spring interruption than the break label alone suggests.
Charles has many two-hour early dismissals: September 25, October 31, November 19, December 5, December 19, January 16, February 20, March 4, March 27, April 10, May 7, May 18, June 16, and June 17. May 15 is the last day for seniors. Religious and cultural observances that do not include closure language are not projected as school closure dates in the public calendar.
- First day for students: August 25, 2025
