The Wappingers Central School District (WCSD) 2025-2026 school year runs from early September to late June, serving approximately 10,000 students in Dutchess and Putnam counties. It stands proudly as the eighth-largest public school district in New York State and the absolute largest in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
Because Wappingers operates two massive high schools (Roy C. Ketcham and John Jay), the district calendar is incredibly dense with cross-town rivalries, extensive AP exam blocks, and large-scale performing arts showcases. WCSD covers an enormous 110 square miles, meaning the calendar relies heavily on its built-in emergency closure days. Families relocating from New York City often find the district's rigorous adherence to these weather-related schedule shifts to be a major, necessary adjustment for winter childcare coordination.
