PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA — Would parents and students rather have a longer winter break or an earlier last day of school?
The Prince William County School system has posted three calendar options for the 2024-25 school year. A survey is live now, allowing students, teachers, and parents to voice their opinions.
Each of the three calendar options, labeled Options A, B, and C, lists six key dates. They include the first day of school, winter break, spring break, and the last day of school.
Here are the three options:

“The development of the annual school calendar requires the balancing of the interests of students, families, and staff, along with requirements from the Virginia Department of Education,” the school system says before the poll. “Your input will be included in the presentation of calendar options to the School Board in November.”
School officials also noted that each option has the same number of total instructional hours.
The calendar poll is open until Oct. 27. The options will be presented to the school board in November. The board will make a final decision in December.
