About Clarke County School District

Clarke County School District starts August 5 and finishes May 19. Parent-teacher conferences change the school day in October and March: all levels dismiss early October 14 and March 10, at 12:20 p.m. for elementary schools and 1:30 p.m. for middle and high schools. October 15 and March 11 are conference days without student classes. The October holidays continue through October 19, with students returning October 20. March 12 is another student holiday. Schools arrange individual conference appointments; the full conference week is not a week off.

High school families have a separate pickup schedule: dismissal is 12:45 p.m. on December 17 and May 18–19. December 18 is an asynchronous learning day for high schools only, before winter break begins December 21. The new term starts January 4. Spring break falls April 5–9, and February 15 is a teacher planning day without student classes. Pre-K families also have conference windows November 30–December 4 and May 3–7. The last day, May 19, applies to all students, while its early dismissal applies only to high schools.
