Calendar Notes
Prince George's County began classes on August 26, 2025, after an August 25 student orientation day. The March 26, 2026 update is the key detail for this page: it lists June 18, 2026 as the current last day for students and a full day. The raw source footnote also indicates that without emergency closure days the student year would have ended June 12, so families using older copies should rely on the updated date.
The weather make-up sequence changed the shape of the year. March 20, April 22, May 27, June 15, June 16, June 17, and June 18 are retained as inclement-weather make-up days because the updated table shows schools open on those dates. March 27 and April 22 are not shown here as definite early dismissals where the updated table and footnote conflict.
PGCPS has a late updated ending compared with nearby Montgomery and Frederick 2025-2026 pages. Winter Break runs December 22-January 2, Spring Break runs March 30-April 6, and early dismissals are listed on September 12, October 31, December 19, January 26, and February 13. November 11 is a parent-teacher conference closure rather than a generic holiday.
- First day for all students: August 26, 2025
- Updated last day for students: June 18, 2026
