Cobb County School Calendar 2019-2020

The Cobb County School Calendar for the 2019 to 2020 school year began on Thursday, August 1, 2019 and ended on Wednesday, May 20, 2020. The start date is the same as last year, and the end date is two days earlier than last year.

In light of guidance from the Governor’s office, the Cobb County School district closed all school buildings for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. Online learning continued through the remainder of the school year.

Beginning Monday, April 13, 2020, for all Cobb County students, and for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year, digital learning took place on a Monday through Thursday schedule.

Each Friday was an opportunity for students to independently review their progress from the previous week and to catch-up on assignments as needed. No new work or assignments were presented to students on Fridays.

School Calendar Guidelines and Notes:
State law requires that students are in school 180 days or its equivalent. Each year, school districts are given 4 “emergency days” they can use for a variety of purposes. Many districts have been building those days into their calendars. In Cobb County, there are 177 days scheduled for students, and 187 days scheduled for teachers. The first semester includes 90 school days and ends prior to Winter Holidays. Second semester includes 87 school days, and ends prior to Memorial Day. Fall Break begins on the fourth Monday in September. Winter Break begins on the third Monday in February (Presidents Day). Spring Break begins on the first Monday in April, providing consistency with other metro school systems. The school year ends on a Wednesday to provide enough time to schedule graduation ceremonies.
