Atlanta Public Schools announce 2018-2019 school calendar
Fourth graders at a book fair at their school media center are fascinated by a science book.
Besides adding 30 minutes to students' school days from Jan. 29 to March 30 to make up for days missed as a result of weather, Atlanta Public Schools have also been creating the 2018-2019 school calendar.
This year’s calendar includes six reserved days for teacher planning days, and another five days for teacher professional learning.
