Today the Wicomico County Board of Education approved a final 2024-2025 school calendar adjustment to make up for one of the days missed in January. As preferred by the most people who responded to a survey on makeup day options, and as recommended by the Superintendent and his team, the Board approved changing the Feb. 17 Presidents Day holiday to a day of school with 3-hour early dismissal. Of the nearly 5,400 responses to the school system’s calendar adjustment survey, more (45%) favored making up a missed school day from January with a school day with 3-hour early dismissal on Monday, Feb. 17 than on either of the other two potential dates. Please plan accordingly.

Due to expectant inclement weather, the Wicomico County Board of Education meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Feb.. 11 at 7 p.m. will now be held at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. The meeting will still be held at 101 Long Ave., Salisbury.

In anticipation of winter weather affecting the school schedule this week, please note that students will bring home laptops and other materials today. (We recognize this may require students to transport materials back and forth, but it is necessary to be prepared in case snow comes sooner than is currently predicted.) Tomorrow (Tuesday, Feb. 11) will be a school day, but we are announcing now that schools will dismiss 3 hours early on Tuesday, with no after-school or evening activities. Wicomico County Public Schools is prepared to have a virtual learning day on Wednesday, Feb. 12 if needed. School families and staff should remain alert for other school status updates this week.

The highest level of support on a recent calendar adjustment survey favored making up a missed school day from January by having a school day with early dismissal on Monday, Feb. 17. This calendar adjustment has been recommended to the Board of Education, which will vote on it at its meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 11.
