During the Board of Education meeting on Feb. 10, the school system announced a revision to the approved calendar to use one of the designated make-up days. Students of Wicomico County Public Schools will now have school on Monday, March 16th, with 3-hour early dismissal. March 16th is no longer a staff professional day.
The revised calendar is posted in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole on the Calendar page of the school system’s website. Please make sure to use this updated calendar -- with a date of Feb, 10, 2026 in the bottom right corner and March 16th shown as a school day with early dismissal -- as the school year continues.

Just check out our eBulletinBoard (at www.wicomicoschools.org or any school web page) for plenty of activities for students and families. Here are just some of the events posted now: a Glitter & Glam night tonight at Parkside, STEM Saturday and Career & Technical Education exploration tomorrow, JMB Rock & Roll Revival, and more.
