This is a free community-created calendar and is not an official Williamson County Schools product. Always check WCS or your school for schedule changes.
What is included in the WCS 2026–2027 calendar?
The calendar is designed as an easy reference for Williamson County Schools families with students in grades 6–12. It includes:
All 27 official WCS late-start dates for middle and high schools
The first and last days of school
Scheduled student half days
Fall, Thanksgiving, winter, mid-winter and spring breaks
Major no-school days and semester dates
All 11 K–5 early-release dates, which may help families with students in multiple grade bands
Williamson County Schools publishes the official dates in calendar documents, but we could not find a dedicated one-tap subscription that combines the main student schedule with every grades 6–12 late-start day. This calendar turns those published dates into a format families can add to the devices they already use.

Why subscribe instead of saving a screenshot?
A subscribed calendar keeps the school schedule next to appointments, practices and family plans. It is searchable, available from your phone and easier to share with grandparents, caregivers and anyone helping with transportation. If the calendar owner updates the same feed, subscribing also gives compatible apps a way to retrieve changes; how quickly that happens depends on the app.
