Savannah-Chatham County Public School System School Calendar 2026-2027

SCCPSS students begin August 3 and finish May 21. November 3 and February 12 are half days of remote learning: students stay home for schoolwork rather than attend campus for an earlier pickup. October 8 is staff planning without students, followed by the October 9 fall holiday, the weekend and Columbus Day on October 12. The next nine-week period begins October 13. Winter break runs December 21–31, followed by the January 1 holiday and January 4 planning day; students return January 5.

Thanksgiving is scheduled for November 23–27, but November 23–24 are designated make-up candidates. The same condition applies to March 29–30 within the March 29–April 2 spring break. The Superintendent may use in-person or remote learning if make-up is needed. March 26 is a separate holiday before spring break, while March 17 is the St. Patrick’s Day student holiday. Neither December 18 nor May 21 is listed as an early-dismissal day. The approved bell chart provides separate school, campus bus and breakfast times for 2026–2027; use your child’s campus rather than a single districtwide clock.
