The Montgomery County Board of Education has officially approved the school calendars for the 2025-2026 academic year during a recent meeting. This decision includes both traditional and innovative calendars designed to meet the diverse needs of students and families.
One of the significant updates is the introduction of a Student Transition Day, aimed at easing the transition for students moving between grades or schools. This day is scheduled to provide students with opportunities to familiarize themselves with their new environments, meet teachers, and engage in orientation activities.
Additionally, the approved calendars maintain the usual holiday breaks, ensuring that students and staff have ample time for rest and family engagement throughout the year. The Board emphasized the importance of community feedback in shaping the calendar, reflecting a commitment to creating a supportive educational environment.
As the school year approaches, families can begin planning around these new dates, fostering a smoother transition into the upcoming academic year.
