About Cherokee County School District

The 2027–2028 calendar places the February holiday week on February 21–25, a change approved with the April 2026 calendar amendment. The PDF distinguishes the February 21 district closure from the school holidays on February 22–25, but students are off throughout that week. Spring break is a different week, April 3–7. Students begin the year August 2, return for the second semester January 4, and finish May 24.

Conference pickups depend on the grade level. October 12–15 brings early release for PK–5 only, following the October 11 student holiday. January 27–28 brings early release for all grades, PK–12. The November 2 and March 14 teacher-planning dates are remote-learning days for students, so they require time for schoolwork at home. December 17 and May 24 carry modified dismissal for middle and high schools. The winter holiday runs from December 20 through January 3, with no extra January teacher-planning closure listed before the January 4 return. Families should use the notice for each conference or semester-end dismissal rather than assume every shortened day follows one pickup schedule.
