In a recent decision, schools in Anne Arundel County will implement an extended winter break for the upcoming academic year. Students will enjoy an early holiday, with schools closing on December 22 and 23. This adjustment aims to provide families with additional time together during the festive season.
To accommodate this extended break, the school calendar will also see two days added to the end of the academic year in June. This change is part of the district's ongoing efforts to enhance the overall educational experience while also responding to community feedback regarding the school schedule.
Parents and students alike have expressed support for the extended break, highlighting the importance of family time during the holidays. The adjustment reflects a growing trend among school districts to prioritize student well-being and family engagement. As the school year progresses, this new calendar will allow for a balanced approach to education and personal time for families in the community.
