Note: Approved by the Board of Education on February 10, 2025; the calendar page posts it as the amended adopted calendar (file version 5, 3-21-25). Naming: Henry County calls its December 21 - January 5 break "Semester Break" (January 4-5 are staff professional learning and workdays with students out; the second semester starts January 6) and the February 15-19 week "Winter Break" (listed under days off; February 15 is shaded as a system-wide closure). Asynchronous Learning Days on September 4, October 2 and November 3, 2026, February 12 and March 19, 2027 are counted as school days: students complete self-paced assignments from home (no live classes) while teachers have district professional development, and school buildings are closed to students (district Asynchronous Learning Days FAQ, which lists the same five dates). December 18 and the last day, May 26, are early release days. Memorial Day (May 31) and Juneteenth (June 18) fall after the last day. The calendar does not state a number of student days.
