Four shortened exam dates for secondary students
December 14–15, 2028 and May 22–23, 2029 are half-day exams for grades 6–12. Both are pairs of consecutive school days. They apply to the stated secondary grades, rather than all elementary and secondary students.
No release clock is printed. Follow the school’s exam notice for your student’s course schedule and dismissal arrangements. Where siblings attend different school levels, save separate pickup reminders so a secondary exam day does not change an elementary child’s plan by mistake.

January 4 comes after a holiday and two staff days
The named semester break is December 18–29, 2028. The weekend follows, then New Year’s Day on January 1 and student in-service holidays January 2–3. Students begin the second semester Thursday, January 4.
For care planning, that is one uninterrupted stretch without regular classes from December 16 through January 3, including weekends. The named semester-break range remains December 18–29; the New Year holiday and staff days are additional parts of the student time at home.

Fall and February breaks each have a workday afterward
October 10 and February 20 are student holidays for staff learning and planning. Both follow named seasonal breaks. Keep them in the care plan when choosing a return date.
The table shows the next scheduled student dates under the published calendar. Columbus Day on October 9 and Presidents Day on February 19 are already inside their respective breaks.

March 16 is a student holiday before spring break
Friday, March 16, 2029 is a teacher workday without students. It creates a three-day weekend, with the next scheduled student day Monday, March 19. Spring break does not begin until April 2.
Do not carry the previous year’s March 17 holiday pattern into this calendar. Here the weekday closure is March 16. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 15 is another separate student holiday, after the January semester return.

May 23 is the final day across the district
The district closes the student year Wednesday, May 23, with secondary half-day exams on both May 22 and 23. The final date applies districtwide; the shortened exam schedule applies to grades 6–12.
Use the school’s actual exam timetable before booking an absence or arranging a pickup driver. A half-day label does not supply a bus-stop arrival time. The full Bryan County 2028–2029 calendar page includes the printable calendar and calendar downloads for this specific school year.
