For schools to coordinate and communicate with all of the students and parents of various classes and in different schools, the school calendar is essential. Because of this, a school must maintain a proper calendar that delineates student and non-student days, school and non-school days, as well as the various breaks throughout the year.
This page contains the major holiday dates from the 2026 and 2027 school calendar for Rowan-Salisbury Schools in North Carolina.
Please check back regularly for any amendments that may occur, or consult the Rowan-Salisbury Schools website for their 2025-2026 approved calendar and 2026-2027 approved calendar. You may also wish to visit the school district homepage to check for any urgent or last-minute updates that may not have been incorporated into the official calendars.
Also note that we have incorporated non-student days such as teachers preparation days, teachers services days, and professional development days into the dates below. Visit the links above to view the full, original school calendar.
