Tired of Manually Tracking Dates? Never Miss an Early Dismissal Again.

We know Marietta parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:

Monday 7:15am

"You drop your kids off at their school near Kennesaw Mountain, fight through I-75 south to your office in Midtown Atlanta, and settle into your first meeting. At 8 AM your phone buzzes — it's a Digital Learning Day. Your kids are sitting in front of a locked school building and you're 45 minutes away."

Thursday 2:30pm

"You're heading north on I-75 past the Big Chicken when your phone rings. It's the front office at your daughter's school — today was early release for parent-teacher conferences and she's been waiting in the lobby for an hour. You forgot it was conference week."

Tuesday 8:00am

"You packed lunches, laid out clothes, and drove your kids to school only to find an empty parking lot. It's Election Day — a student holiday you completely missed because you were focused on the November 4th ballot, not the school calendar."

Friday morning

"Your neighbor texts: 'Did you know there's no school all next week?' You had no idea February Winter Break was a full week off. Now you're scrambling to find childcare in Marietta while your boss expects you at the Lockheed Martin campus in 30 minutes."

Wednesday 3:15pm

"With one child at a Kennesaw elementary school, another at Awtrey Middle, and a teenager at Kennesaw Mountain High, you mixed up which kid has early release today. You're sitting in the wrong pickup line while the WSB Traffic report warns of a wreck on Barrett Parkway."

The reality: Checking PDFs and the CCSD website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...

One Calendar for All CCSD Schools

Important: This is the official district-wide calendar for Cobb County School District (CCSD), Georgia's second-largest school district serving approximately 107,000 students across 110 schools. CCSD covers all of Cobb County except for the separate Marietta City Schools district. Major communities served include Marietta (unincorporated areas), Kennesaw, Acworth, Austell, Powder Springs, Smyrna, Mableton, and the East Cobb area. The district is home to nationally recognized schools and benefits from proximity to Kennesaw State University and major employers like Lockheed Martin. Important notes: (1) Marietta City Schools is a separate district with its own calendar — verify your address with CCSD if you have a Marietta mailing address; (2) CCSD uses Infinite Campus and ParentVUE for grades and attendance; (3) The district schedules four Digital Learning Days per year when students learn from home while teachers participate in professional development; (4) CCSD offers magnet programs, STEM academies, and advanced placement courses at multiple high schools.
