As we approach the year 2024, it’s important to know what to expect in terms of school schedules. As a parent and former student of Wake County Public School System (Wcpss), I’m excited to share my personal experience and insights into the traditional calendar for 2024.
The Wcpss Traditional Calendar
The traditional calendar for Wcpss typically consists of 180 instructional days, divided into two semesters. The 2024 calendar follows this same structure, with the first day of school scheduled for August 26, 2024 and the last day of school scheduled for June 7, 2025.
One key feature of the traditional calendar is the breaks throughout the year. The 2024 calendar includes several breaks, including a week-long fall break in October, a two-week winter break in December, and a week-long spring break in April. Additionally, there are several teacher workdays and holidays throughout the year.
