2021-2022 Academic Calendar Updates, Nov. 3, 2021

November 3rd, 2021

The Howard County Board of Education has approved a modification to the 2021-2022 academic calendar creating several 3-hour early dismissal days during the remainder of the school year. The early dismissals will provide staff additional hours to complete professional tasks (i.e., grading, planning, preparing materials of instruction), tend to their personal well-being, and better balance the many demands that have been placed upon them during the pandemic.

School will close three hours early for students on the following days:

Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021
Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2022 (previously scheduled to be a 3-hour early dismissal for high school students only)
Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022
Wednesday, March 16, 2022
Wednesday, April 27, 2022
Wednesday, May 18, 2022

There will be no half-day prekindergarten/RECC on these days. The updated academic calendar is available online.
