Posted: February 18, 2022

The Newport News School Board approved the 2022-2023 school year calendar during its February 15 meeting. The school year will start on Monday, August 29, 2022, the week prior to Labor Day. Schools will be closed on Friday, September 2, in accordance with state code. The last day of school for the 2022-2023 school year is Friday, June 9, 2023.

The approved calendar maintains a two-week winter break and a weeklong spring break.

The NNPS Calendar Committee proposed August 29 as the first day of school after receiving family, student and staff input, reviewing past family and staff calendar surveys, and consulting with the three Peninsula school divisions that opened prior to Labor Day this current school year (York County School Division, Williamsburg/James City County Public Schools and Gloucester County Public Schools).
