News and Announcements
School-Day Extended 45 Minutes on
August 21 due to Solar Eclipse
Due to the solar eclipse on August 21,
2017, the Cobb County School District will delay dismissal of
elementary, middle and high school students by 45 minutes.
The peak time to experience the solar
eclipse falls during our regularly scheduled elementary school
dismissal time. Since student safety is always our first
priority so we will delay dismissal to ensure that neither
students nor employees are on the roadways during the time of
the eclipse. Subsequently, high schools and middle
schools will delay dismissal as well.
Schools will be provided with further
guidance and instructional resources as appropriate. Parents
are welcome to pick-up their child at the typical dismissal time
if needed.
For more information regarding the
solar eclipse visit the National Weather Service at
