School Year Calendar & Events

Plan ahead for the school year with our calendar highlights. Calendars are developed each spring and are approved by the Berkeley County & West Virginia boards of education.

NEW THIS YEAR: We're excited to announce that the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school year calendars have been approved to help our families better plan and keep attendance rates up!

In the event of school closings due to inclement weather or other emergencies, calendars may be adjusted to ensure the required number of instructional hours. Every effort will be made to communicate calendar adjustments to parents, students and staff as soon as possible.
