For parents of most metro Atlanta students, spring break has arrived.

Some dates normally vary from year-to-year among school districts even while they try to coordinate their spring break schedules. However, this year’s spring break dates show consistency, with local districts mostly taking the week of April 1-5. (Scroll down for the list by district.)

If you’re headed out of town, you likely missed the crush of fellow travelers: More than 335,000 passengers were expected to pass through Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Friday.

For those hitting the road, the Georgia Department of Transportation warned that higher volumes of traffic clog metro interstates on the Friday before spring break starts (March 29 this year).

For those families who don’t have plans firmed up, we’ve got plenty of suggestions for you:

Of course, we also have the season covered with ideas for the family, even beyond spring break.

And even if you’re deciding to stick around and not deal with other travelers, the good news is that not only was the holiday weekend weather nice for those wanting to enjoying the outdoors closer to home, but little rain is in the forecast for the week.

The county and city districts with spring break April 1-5:

  • Clayton
  • Cobb
  • DeKalb
  • Fulton
  • Gwinnett
  • Atlanta
  • Buford
  • Decatur
  • Marietta
