About Bartow County School System
The August 5 start falls after the staff planning days shown in yellow. Students have a full week off in October, October 5–9, and another at Thanksgiving, November 23–27. December 18 is marked for early release before the holiday break. Crossed-out dates then cover December 21–January 1. January 4 and 5 are staff planning days without students, so the first blue student day of the second semester is Wednesday, January 6. Those two planning days matter when arranging care after the holidays.
February’s winter break runs February 15–19 and includes Presidents Day on February 15. It is separate from the December holiday break. Spring break follows April 5–9, with students expected back April 12. The last student day is Wednesday, May 26, also marked for early release; the calendar does not give dismissal times for either shortened day. A separate district notice schedules the three high school graduations before the year ends, all at 7:30 p.m.: Woodland on May 20, Adairsville on May 24 and Cass on May 25.
