School is officially out for summer, and while kids wish it would last forever, DeKalb County Schools will return in a few months.

The first day of school for DeKalb is officially set for Monday, August 6.

During last year’s school year, DeKalb made adjustments throughout the year due to severe weather from Tropical Storm Irma and snow days.

Here are important dates for DeKalb students and parents to mark in their calendars for the upcoming school year, if there are no weather interruptions:

  • The first day of school will be August 6.
  • Fall Break will be held Oct. 4-6.
  • Schools will be out for Election Day Tuesday, Nov. 6.
  • Thanksgiving Break will be Nov. 19 through Nov. 23.
  • Holiday Break will be from Monday, Dec. 24 until Friday, Jan. 4.
  • Spring Break is the first week of April, the first through the fifth.
  • The last day of school is set for Thursday, May 23rd.
