“In celebration of the hometown team’s World Series Championship, and in partnership with surrounding districts, all Cobb schools will be closed on Friday, November 5.

The Atlanta Braves parade and celebratory events will occur in Cobb County during the day and this holiday will also keep anticipated high traffic, throughout Cobb County, as manageable as possible for everyone who lives in Cobb.

Friday will be a student and teacher holiday while all annual and hourly staff will receive direction from their direct supervisor. After-school program (ASP) will not be available and Friday night athletic activities will remain as scheduled.”
