WSFCS Calendar: Teacher Workdays and Student Holidays

We know school calendar dates can get confusing, and that’s why we want to help you keep track of the WSFCS calendar. While it’s true that teacher workdays and student holidays are both important, there are a few key differences to be aware of.

First off, Teacher Workdays are days where teachers will have extra prep time and professional development (PD) activities scheduled on the WSFCS calendar. These days are often longer than regular school days and not open to students. Student Holidays, on the other hand, are days when there is no school for either teachers or students!

It’s important to stay up-to-date on the WSFCS calendar so you can plan ahead for trips, days off of work, or just know when there won’t be any classes. Make sure you take a look at the calendar before making any plans.
