There will be no printed 2019-2020 Howard County Public School System calendars. Staff, students, and families may add our online calendar to their own mobile/online calendar by:

1. Going to https://www.hcpss.org/calendar/
2. Scrolling down to Subscribing to a Calendar
3. Right-clicking on the calendar you wish to subscribe to
4. Selecting Copy Link Location/Address/Shortcut
5. Adding to your calendar of choice (see your calendar for specifics on adding a new calendar)

You also may view and/or download printable PDFs of the full calendar and/or important dates only. Updates to the PDFs will be noted on the HCPSS calendar page.

PLEASE NOTE! The calendar is subject to change. The online calendar reflects the most recent version.

The academic calendar is designed to provide for continuity in instructional programming and time for teachers to engage in professional work and growth activities, while reflecting respect for student and staff religious observances and allowing a traditional break from school work during the winter and spring. The calendar complies with Maryland law requiring at least 180 instructional days and Governor Hogan’s 2016 Executive Order, as well as negotiated agreements and district policies.
