ACADEMIC CALENDAR NOTES:
1. Weather Make-up Days: November 24, November 25, May 29
2. June 1, 2026 will be used as a teacher workday ONLY if May 29, 2026 is used as a school day.
3. This is the academic calendar. It does not reflect employee attendance. Employees can find their 2025-26 attendance calendar on the intranet.
4. Charleston County School District is a SCDE approved eLearning district. The current provision allows the district to use up to five (5) days in eLearning. These days are for emergency situations, such as inclement weather or utility interruptions (for example, water line breaks or power outages).
Learning days will be used before weather make-up days are used. eLearning days are not planned days on the calendar.
