Important End-of-Year Schedule Changes 

New Kent County Public Schools has announced a change to the end-of-year schedule to accommodate special transportation arrangements for the New Kent High School Class of 2025 graduation ceremony.

Graduation Transportation Plan

To enhance the graduation experience, New Kent High School seniors will be transported together by bus to Kaplan Arena at William & Mary for their commencement ceremony. This arrangement allows the graduating class to arrive as a unified group, eliminates parking challenges, and provides additional time for seniors to share this milestone experience before the ceremony begins.

Schedule Modifications

To facilitate this transportation plan, the following schedule changes have been implemented:

• Wednesday, June 4th and Thursday, June 5th will operate on a half-day release schedule instead of the previously planned early release schedule.
• This adjustment applies to all schools in the district.

Dismissal Times

• High School and Middle School: 10:55 a.m.
• Elementary Schools: 12:10 p.m.

Meal Information

Please note that breakfast is served when our schools operate on a half-day release schedule, but lunch will not be served.

Calendar Update

The 2024-2025 NKCPS Academic Calendar has been updated to reflect these changes.
