McLean School of Maryland

Calendar Outline for 2008-2009

The purpose of this skeleton calendar is to give families advance notice of the first and last days of school and the major vacation periods. It is subject to change. We will not, at this time, list early dismissal or other special closings, but we do expect that families will schedule vacations within the published vacation periods. A detailed, month-by-month calendar will be mailed to you during the summer.
