April 21, 2026 is the date of a special election across Virginia, and robust voter turnout is expected. Because most Chesterfield County schools serve as voting sites students will not come to school April 21. To make up this time, May 28 will become a full day for students on the traditional calendar. (Previously, May 28 was an early-dismissal day.) Teachers will provide April 21 assignments for students to complete at home. Read the original notice for more details.
