2019-20 Calendar Download
The Prince William County School Board originally approved the 2019-20 calendar on October 17, 2018 to adopt a 2019-20 school calendar that begins with a pre-Labor Day opening (School opens August 26) and ends with the last day of school on June 12. The calendar includes two full weeks at Winter Break. The calendar was modified on April 3, 2019 by the Prince William County School Board in response to a change in Virginia law that no longer requires waivers to start before Labor Day but now requires that the Friday before Labor Day (August 30) be a holiday. The calendar now includes that day as a holiday, making the Labor Day weekend a four-day weekend.
