How can I find out dates for this school year?

The 2009-10 school year began Aug. 31, for most students, and will end June 11, 2009. The calendar may be downloaded as a pdf from the Wicomico County Board of Education's Web site at www.wcboe.org. Click on "09-10 School Calendar" under the Parents menu on the right side of this page, or at the top of the Calendar tab on the home page. Printed copies of the calendar are also available in the Board of Education lobby.

Students will be off Nov. 25-27 for the Thanksgiving break, Dec. 23 through Jan. 1 for the winter holidays, and March 31 - April 5 for the spring holidays. Schools will also be closed Oct. 16 (Maryland State Teachers Association Convention), and closed for students (but open for teachers) for professional days on Oct. 19, Jan. 25 and 26, March 1 and May 3.
