WCS School Schedules (2026-2027 School Year)

After careful study and discussion, the district made an adjustment to the instructional day beginning with the 2026-2027 school year. These changes are designed to help build additional instructional time into the school calendar, reduce the impact of weather-related closures, and provide greater flexibility when responding to lost instructional days.

• K-8 schools: Addition of 25 minutes to the instructional day
• WHS/WIA: Addition of 10 minutes to the instructional day

An FAQ document is available with information to questions/concerns shared in responses to the parent survey the district sent out about the schedule adjustment.
