Bacon County School Calendar 2026–2027: Early Pickup Times

By GA School Calendar · Published

Bacon County School District’s 2026–2027 calendar includes six early-release days, with a school-specific pickup schedule already published for Friday, November 20. Primary students leave earlier than high school students, and primary bus riders leave five minutes before car pickup. Those details matter more for an afternoon care plan than the annual calendar’s general 1 p.m. notation. This guide also covers parent conferences and the extra weekdays at home after fall, winter and February breaks.

What time is early pickup on November 20?

Use your child’s school row for Friday, November 20, 2026. The district’s early-release notice gives separate times for primary, elementary, middle and high school students. At Bacon County Primary, buses leave at 12:15 p.m. and car pickup is at 12:20 p.m.

The bus column gives the school’s release time for bus riders, not the time a child reaches a particular stop. If someone meets your child off the bus, confirm the expected arrival with the school or transportation office. Families collecting children at more than one campus should allow for the different release times.

The graphic identifies November 20 as the upcoming early release. Use these times for that date; check later notices before carrying the same campus schedule over to December, April or May.

All six early-release dates in the annual calendar

The annual PDF marks the following dates as “Early Release @ 1:00.” Treat that as the published annual schedule, then check the notice for the particular date and campus. November 20 shows why: the district has supplied earlier release times for several schools.

All six dates remain student attendance days. An early release before a holiday does not turn the entire day into a day off. Ask your care provider about afternoon coverage rather than assuming its hours will change automatically with the school schedule.

When do students return after each break?

Fall break ends October 13, but students remain home October 14 for teacher in-service. The same pattern occurs after the winter holidays, when January 4–5 are student days off, and after February’s two-day break, when February 17 is also an in-service closure.

The table keeps each holiday range separate from those additional closures. Except for the district’s expressly announced November 30 return, the return dates are the next scheduled student days read from the annual calendar. Check current school notices before making fixed travel arrangements.

Parent conferences run from 4 to 6 p.m.

The annual calendar schedules parent-teacher conferences for Thursday, October 8, 2026 and Tuesday, March 30, 2027, from 4 to 6 p.m. These are evening conference windows on scheduled student days. Check with your child’s teacher about how to arrange a meeting.

The fall conference is followed by early release on October 9. The spring conference comes before the April 2 early release and spring break. Put the meeting and the shortened school day in separate reminders so an evening appointment does not get mistaken for an afternoon pickup change.

Student days off outside the main breaks

Students also have Monday, September 7, 2026; Monday, September 21, 2026; Monday, January 18, 2027; and Monday, March 15, 2027 off. September 7 and January 18 are holiday closures. September 21 and March 15 are teacher in-service days without students.

Each falls on a Monday, extending the preceding weekend. These closures affect child care even though two are staff workdays. The full calendar page lists them alongside the larger breaks, making it easier to check a date before scheduling an appointment or accepting a work shift.

Is May 21 the last student day?

Friday, May 21, 2027 is the final student day indicated by the annual calendar, and it is marked for early release. The PDF does not print a separate “last day” label; the date comes from the end of its student schedule, followed by staff in-service on May 24–26. Confirm any end-of-year instructions with your child’s school.

For the Bacon County school calendar, save the official PDF together with the school’s latest pickup notice. The annual calendar is useful for requesting time off months ahead; the dated campus notice supplies the details needed for a particular afternoon. Our full calendar page includes the printable calendar and calendar downloads, while the district events page carries additional school activities.
