About the Last Day of School

*The last day of school will fall between June 9 and June 17, depending on the number of days used for emergency or weather-related closings (“snow days”) during the year. • If no snow days are used, the last day is June 9 for students and June 10 for 10-month employees

• If 1 snow day is used, the last day is June 10 for students and June 11 for 10-month employees • If 2 snow days are used, the last day is June 11 for students and June 12 for 10-month employees • If 3 snow days are used, the last day is June 12 for students and June 13 for 10-month employees • If 4 snow days are used, the last day is June 13 for students and June 14 for 10-month employees • If 5 snow days are used, the last day is June 16 for students and June 17 for 10-month employees

Professional development will be scheduled on the last day of school for 10-month employees. Staff should also be aware that if their school has elected “school-based options” for scheduling of professional days, the last day may vary from the information listed above. Please check with your school administrators for information. Updated as of November 2013; see www.baltimorecityschools.org for changes.
