For Chattooga County Schools, which operate on a four-day school week, Fall Break is Tuesday, October 6, through Friday, October 9.

The break gives students and school employees several days away from the classroom as the first part of the 2026-2027 school year moves into October.

Parents and students should keep the Fall Break schedules in mind when making plans for the coming week.
