We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: District "School Year at a Glance" calendar, revised 3/11/26; neither it nor the calendar page says whether the Board approved it. Break names come from the district's 2026-27 Staff Use Calendar (same dates). Naming: what Cobb calls "Winter Break" is the February 15-19, 2027 week (listed under days off, starting with Presidents' Day); the December 21 - January 1 break shown here as winter break is what Cobb calls "Winter Holidays" (January 4 is also a student holiday, so students return January 5). Digital Learning Days (students learn from home, counted as school days): Aug 17, Oct 12, Dec 1 and March 1. Oct 13-16 is Elementary/Middle School Conference Week with early release for elementary and middle schools only; Dec 17-18 and May 17-19 are early release days for all levels. High school commencements are planned for May 16-23, 2027 (ceremony schedule TBD).
