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.

  • 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.
