MCPS Calendar Preferences Survey

Manassas City Public Schools (MCPS) is in the process of developing the school calendars for the 2027-28 school year. The purpose of this survey is to gather input from the MCPS community about priorities and preferences for those calendars. The results of this survey, as well as feedback gathered through in-person and virtual meetings with staff and community members, will be utilized to develop calendar options.

The MCPS community will have the opportunity to indicate preferences between calendar options once they are developed via a calendar poll. The results of that poll will be shared with MCPS leadership and the School Board to inform their decision-making.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your input.
