Fulton County Schools Calendar 2026-27: Spring Break April 5-9, Last Day May 27

Fulton County Schools (FCS) in Georgia has spring break Monday, April 5 through Friday, April 9, 2027, and the last day of school is Thursday, May 27, 2027, according to the district’s 2026-27 School Year Calendar PDF. FCS is the suburban district around Atlanta, not Atlanta Public Schools, which publishes its own calendar. The board approved the 2026-27 instructional calendar on Dec. 19, 2024, per the Board Bulletin dated Dec. 20, 2024, and the calendar page says the board approves the calendar bi-annually.

Fulton County Schools 2026-27 breaks at a glance

The PDF gives dates for each break. Weekdays and the count of weekdays students are off are our computation from those dates.

Break	Dates on the calendar	Students off
Fall Break	Sept. 21-23, 2026, plus teacher workdays Sept. 24-25	Mon.-Fri., Sept. 21-25 (5 weekdays), past
Thanksgiving	Nov. 23-27, 2026, schools closed	Mon.-Fri. (5 weekdays)
Winter Break	Dec. 21-31 and Jan. 1, schools closed, plus a teacher workday Jan. 4, 2027	Dec. 21 to Jan. 4 (11 weekdays), back Tue., Jan. 5
February break (the PDF says “Fall Break”)	Feb. 15-17, 2027, plus teacher workdays Feb. 18-19	Mon.-Fri., Feb. 15-19 (5 weekdays)
Spring Break	Apr. 5-9, 2027, schools closed	Mon.-Fri. (5 weekdays), back Mon., Apr. 12

Students get a full week off in September and again in February because the district adds teacher workdays after the break days. The PDF uses the name Fall Break for both, so we call the second one the February break.
