Cobb County School Calendar 2026-27: Holiday Break Dec. 21-Jan. 4, February Break and Spring Break Apr. 5-9

The Cobb County School District in Georgia lists its 2026-27 holiday break from Monday, Dec. 21, 2026 through Jan. 4, 2027, a February break Feb. 15-19, and spring break Monday, Apr. 5 through Friday, Apr. 9, 2027, according to its Important Dates page. School started Monday, Aug. 3, 2026, per the district’s Back to School Info page dated July 16, 2026. The district’s calendar PDFs show breaks only as shaded cells, so this story puts them in text.

What are Digital Learning Days and early release days?

On a Digital Learning Day, the district’s page says students do not report. The page lists four: Mon., Aug. 17, Mon., Oct. 12, Dec. 1 and Mon., Mar. 1, 2027. The page calls Dec. 1 a Monday, but Dec. 1, 2026 is a Tuesday, so confirm that date with your school.

Early release days are at 1:25 p.m.

Dates	What the district lists
Tue.-Fri., Oct. 13-16, 2026	Conference week, early release 1:25 p.m. (past)
Thu.-Fri., Dec. 17-18, 2026	Early release, 1:25 p.m.
Mon.-Wed., May 17-19, 2027	Early release, 1:25 p.m.

The page prints the May dates with the year 2026, but the weekdays match 2027, so we list them as 2027.

When is the last day of school in Cobb County?

We could not confirm a last day from the district’s text pages. The Important Dates list shows early release from May 17 to May 19, 2027, and has no last-day entry. Look for it on the year-at-a-glance PDF before you book a trip.

How does Cobb compare with Gwinnett?

Cobb’s spring break, Apr. 5-9, 2027, is the same week as the one in our Gwinnett County schools story. For the winter and spring weeks across large districts, see our winter break 2026 and spring break 2027 roundups.
