About Charlotte County Public Schools
Early Head Start continues after the traditional district school year ends May 28. Its calendar lists student attendance from June 2 through June 18, 2027. Memorial Day, May 31, and the June 1 teacher planning day come before those June classes. The published Student Day Count increases from 180 on May 28 to 193 on June 18. Families planning childcare should use the Early Head Start dates and check for any later center-specific instructions.
The EHS PDF contains two conflicting last-day labels. May 28 is marked as both the end of the fourth quarter and semester and Last Day for Students. However, the June section continues student attendance through June 18 and also marks that date as the last day. For Early Head Start planning, June 18 is the supported final date. Check with your child's center if it issues a different schedule.
The EHS calendar lists early release on September 16 and November 11, 2026, and February 24 and March 31, 2027, but does not provide program dismissal times. Families should confirm pickup arrangements directly with their center rather than using elementary school bell times.
October 12, January 5 and March 12 are teacher planning days that also serve as possible hurricane make-up dates. Those dates may change to attendance days if the district activates them.

What are the EHS hurricane make-up dates?
The Early Head Start calendar lists October 12, 2026, January 5, 2027 and March 12, 2027 as teacher planning days with student hurricane make-up designations. They are scheduled without student classes unless the district activates them for attendance.
Is this calendar for Early Head Start, Head Start or VPK?
This calendar is for children enrolled in Charlotte County Public Schools' Early Head Start program. Baker Center lists Early Head Start for children from birth to age 3, Head Start for ages 3-4, and VPK as a separate program. Do not assume those programs follow the same June attendance dates.
Does Early Head Start have spring intersession on March 22-25?
No. The Early Head Start calendar does not list the year-round schools' March 22-25 intersession. Those dates remain scheduled EHS student days. The year-round intersession applies to a different student calendar.
About This Calendar
Data source & handling: The supplied Early Head Start PDF matches the current official download by SHA-256. The district publishes three separate student calendars, with a November 12, 2025 announcement confirming Board approval. Baker Center’s program descriptions distinguish Early Head Start from Head Start and VPK; elementary and secondary bell times are not applied to EHS. Dates are collected from district materials and organized into key dates, monthly calendars and calendar subscriptions. Visit Charlotte County Schools’s official website.
Disclaimer: Follow district and school notices before treating a hurricane reserve as a firm day off. Use the calendar for the child’s assigned school or program; school-specific schedules and participant instructions take precedence over assumptions from another variant.
