Note: Verified from the district's official 2025-2026 Student Calendar PDF (district-hosted document linked from the archived wsfcs.k12.nc.us calendar page). WS/FCS used calendar flexibility to start Aug 13, 2025 and end May 27, 2026. The final revision designates Jan 28-30 and Feb 4-5, 2026 as remote learning days (winter weather). Middle and high schools also ran an A/B day calendar overlay.
