Note: Approved 12/19/2024. Naming: what Fulton calls "Winter Break" is February 15-17, 2027 (listed under days off); with the professional development/teacher workdays on Feb 18-19, students are off that whole week. The December 21-31 break shown here as winter break is Fulton's "December Break"; January 1 is New Year's Day and January 4 a teacher workday, so students return January 5. The district's separate text version of this calendar uses different names for the same dates ("Winter Break" for December 21-31 and, apparently by mistake, "Fall Break" for February 15-17). Fall Break (Sep 21-23) is followed by teacher workdays on Sep 24-25, so students are off that whole week too. November 3 (Election Day) is a remote learning day for students, and the calendar says all statewide election days will be remote for students unless otherwise indicated. 179 instructional days = 88 (first semester) + 91 (second semester).
