Atlanta Public Schools released the calendar for the 2021-2022 school year, which includes an earlier start to the school year and longer fall and winter breaks. School will begin Aug. 10, 2020, which is five days earlier than the Aug. 5 return date for the 2020-2021 school year. A fall break, from Oct. 7 to 8, has been added, and students will have Oct. 11 off for a teacher professional learning day. A winter break has also been added in February, where students and teachers will have Feb. 17 and 18 off. Spring break will remain as the week of Apr. 4 to 8, and the last day of school will remain as May 26, 2022. The revised calendar was based on feedback from parents and staff.
