Washington Unified School District (WUSD) is pleased to share the approved Instructional Calendars for the following school year.
The WUSD Calendar Committee, comprised of both certificated and classified employees and school site and district office administrators, adopted guidelines several years ago to ensure that the instructional calendars of all schools have consistent start dates, end dates, and holidays and meet the instructional needs of students. This consistency lets families and staff know the calendar format from year to year and plan accordingly.
