Three Fridays still have schoolwork at home
September 18, November 6 and March 12 are Digital Learning Days with parent conferences. They remain learning days, with assignments and teacher instructions to follow. Families may need care away from the usual classroom routine.
The annual calendar supplies no conference appointment times or assignment deadlines. Check access to the required materials before the day begins and arrange the teacher meeting separately. A digital day should not be added to a holiday trip as a day without schoolwork.

Two early releases, including a Thursday finish
December 18, 2026 and May 20, 2027 are early-release dates. The December date precedes winter break; the May date is the last student day. Do not move the final pickup reminder to Friday, May 21, which is a staff post-planning day.
No dismissal clock is printed for either date. Use the school’s notice for the actual release time, bus arrangements and afternoon care. A regular school-day schedule does not establish the shortened-day clock.

January 5 is the published return
Winter break ends January 1, but January 4 is professional learning without students. Students return Tuesday, January 5. The table lists that extra closure separately from the named holiday.
Other returns shown here are the next scheduled student days on the calendar. Check district notices for changes before making fixed travel arrangements.

Columbus Day and Veterans Day remain school days
October 12 and November 11 are named on the calendar but are not student holidays. October 12 is the expected return after fall break. November 11 remains a scheduled student day before the later Thanksgiving break.
Use the calendar’s student attendance markings when planning absences rather than assuming every named observance closes school. Labor Day on September 7, Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 18 and the February 12 and 15 holidays do have student closures.

Give each kind of schedule change its own reminder
The February holiday pattern provides four continuous days at home, February 12–15, with the weekend included. By contrast, March 12 is a digital learning day, followed by a normal weekend and the next scheduled campus day on March 15.
For the Baldwin County school calendar, save an earlier pickup alert for December 18 and May 20, a schoolwork reminder for each digital day and a separate January 5 return reminder. The full calendar page provides printable and calendar downloads alongside the official source links.
