School Calendar Guidelines and Notes:
State law requires that students are in school 180 days or its equivalent. Each year, school districts are given four “emergency days” they can use for a variety of purposes. Many districts have been building those days into their calendars. The first day of school typically takes place on the first weekday in August. The first semester includes 90 school days on average and ends prior to Winter Holidays. Second semester includes 90 school days on average, and typically ends prior to Memorial Day. Fall Break typically begins on the fourth Monday in September though some years it starts on the third Monday. Winter Break begins on the third Monday in February (Presidents Day). Spring Break begins on the first Monday in April, providing consistency with other metro school systems. The Cobb County school year typically ends on a Wednesday to provide enough time to schedule graduation ceremonies.
