As we look ahead to the 2026-27 school year, we are pleased to share a one-page school calendar with key dates, holidays, breaks, and non-instructional days for the year ahead.
A few important dates to note include:
- First Day of School (Grades 1-12): September 8, 2026
- Christmas Break: December 19, 2026 – January 3, 2027
- Spring Break: March 13-25, 2027
- Last Day of In-Class Instruction (9-12): June 15, 2027
- HS Final Assessment Dates (9-12): June 16-18, 2027
- Last Day of Classes (K-8): June 18, 2027
Schedule Update for 2026-27
Beginning next school year, the Elementary and Middle School programs will dismiss at 2:45 PM, while the High School program will continue to dismiss at 3:00 PM. Fridays will continue with our 2:15 and 2:30 PM dismissal times to allow for ongoing collaboration time for our staff.
This adjustment maintains the instructional time required for our Elementary and Middle School students while helping to improve traffic flow for families and our surrounding community at the end of the school day.
As a note, we have adjusted our overall calendar for next year by adding one additional day of instruction and we will be dismissing at our regular Friday times of 2:15 PM (Grades K-8) and 2:25 PM (Grades 9-12) before Christmas and Spring Break.
Please take a few moments to review the 2026-27 Overview and add key dates to your family calendar. Additional divisional events and school activities will continue to be communicated through classroom teachers, the MRCS app, and our online calendar.
We look forward to another wonderful year of learning and growth together at MRCS.
