December 10, 2025 Update:
Quick Facts
- The
2025-26 school calendar includes two banked inclement weather days (meaning a makeup day is not required) and three designated makeup days.
-
Tuesday’s school closing constituted the third inclement weather day of the year, meaning a makeup day is required. As
we shared with you yesterday, Monday, January 12 is now a full instructional day across HCPS and not an early release day/clerical PM for faculty and staff.
-
Today’s school closing constitutes the fourth inclement weather day of the year, meaning a makeup day is also required. Monday, February 16 will now be a full instructional day across HCPS and not a student holiday-professional learning AM/clerical PM for faculty and staff.

Dear Families, Faculty, and Staff,
We hope you are well. We are writing to inform you of an important update to the 2025-26 school calendar based upon the recent school closures caused by inclement weather.

adopted 2025-26 school calendar includes two banked days and three designated makeup days.
The recent closures on Friday and Monday constituted the banked days, and the makeup day for Tuesday, December 9 will be Monday, January 12.
Today’s school closing constitutes the fourth inclement weather day of the year, meaning a makeup day is also required.
Accordingly, Monday, February 16 will now be a full instructional day across HCPS and not a student holiday-professional learning AM/clerical PM for faculty and staff.
We hope this helps to provide you with clarity and will allow you to plan for the necessary changes.

Dear Families, Faculty, and Staff,
We hope you are well. We are writing to inform you of an important update to the 2025-26 school calendar based upon the recent school closures caused by inclement weather.
As you may know, each year, the school calendar includes banked instructional time (meaning a makeup day is not required) should inclement weather lead to the closure of school. The
adopted 2025-26 school calendar includes two banked days and three designated makeup days.
The recent closures on Friday and Monday constituted the banked days, and Tuesday’s closing will necessitate the first of the designated makeup days.
Accordingly, Monday, January 12 will no longer be an early release day/clerical PM for faculty and staff. Rather, it will be a full instructional day across the school division.
We hope this helps to provide you with clarity and will allow you to plan for the necessary changes.
If you have any questions, please contact
