Planning Notes
The Clayton County Schools 2026-2027 page follows the official student calendar and highlights ELBC dates separately from full break periods.
Students begin on August 3, 2026 and the last student day is May 26, 2027. The calendar includes Fall Break from October 12-16, Thanksgiving Break from November 23-27, Semester Break from December 21-January 4, Winter Break from February 15-19, and Spring Break from April 5-9.
ELBC appears on August 24, September 8, November 3, and March 15, with November 3 also labeled Election Day / ELBC. The district legend defines ELBC as Extended Learning Beyond the Classroom, so those dates are separated from the break list on this page.
Clayton County uses two different midyear break labels: Semester Break for the December-January pause and Winter Break for the February 15-19 week. Keeping those labels separate helps avoid mixing the two periods.
