What this Houston County Board of Education guide covers
School calendar dates, holidays, breaks, half days, and planning tips
The official Houston County School District calendar page is the first place to check before planning around school dates. Parents commonly search for the first day of school, Labor Day, fall break, Thanksgiving break, Christmas and New Year’s break, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, spring break, student holidays, distance learning days, site collaboration days, half-day dismissal, graduation dates, and the last day of school.
The safest rule is simple: use the district calendar page, choose the correct school year, and read the label beside each date. A day may be a student holiday, staff planning day, distance learning day, site collaboration day, regular school day, early release day, or system holiday. Those labels matter for parents who need childcare, bus plans, custody exchanges, work leave, travel, or appointment scheduling.
Houston County calendar planning can include student days, faculty workdays, professional learning, planning days, traditional holidays, semester balance, testing windows, and graduation planning. Because those pieces can change from one school year to the next, do not copy dates from a previous post, social media graphic, or older PDF without opening the current official calendar.
Half-day dismissal is especially easy to miss. If the calendar labels a date as a half day, check the district’s current half-day dismissal notes or school communications before pickup. Elementary, middle, and high schools may not dismiss at the same time, and normal bell schedules do not apply on early-release days.
📅 Use the correct year
A 2025-2026 calendar should not be used for 2026-2027 planning. Match the school year before saving dates.
🧒 Read student vs staff labels
Some dates are student holidays, staff planning days, distance learning days, or site collaboration days. The label matters.
⏰ Check half-day release
Half-day pickup times can differ by school level. Check the calendar and school messages before arranging pickup.
⚠️ Recheck near the date
Weather, emergencies, and board updates can affect school operations. Recheck before travel or childcare plans.
Calendar planning tip: The official calendar page should be treated as the source of truth. If your school sends a school-level newsletter, compare it with the district calendar for early releases, testing dates, graduation updates, and school-specific events.
Board Office address, phone, hours, and when to use the central office
The Houston County School District Board Office is listed at 1100 Main Street, Perry, GA 31069. The main phone number is 478.988.6200. The official contact page lists hours of operation as Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m..
Use the Board Office for district-level contact, central office routing, board-related direction, department help, public information, and questions that are not tied to one teacher or one school office. If your question is about a student’s daily attendance, classroom concern, pickup rule, assignment, club, discipline issue, or school-specific event, the child’s school office is usually the faster first stop.
✅ Contact the Board Office for
District routing, central office directions, board-related information, department contact help, public information, and district-level questions.

Attendance notes, teacher communication, school events, discipline questions, local pickup, school-specific forms, and classroom issues.

What the Houston County Board of Education does
The Houston County Board of Education is responsible for district-level school governance. The official Board page explains that the Board serves Houston County citizens and encourages parents, residents, and business leaders to take an active interest in the school district.
Board responsibilities include setting policy, approving educational goals and curriculum changes, evaluating the educational program, acting on recommendations from the Superintendent, approving the annual budget, planning for facilities, acting as a tribunal when required, and keeping the public informed about school issues.
The district states that the Board is made up of seven members elected to four-year terms. Board member details, districts, and contact information can change, so use the official Board of Education page before contacting a member or relying on an old board roster.
📌 Policy and goals
The Board sets policy and approves educational goals and curriculum changes.
💰 Budget and facilities
The Board approves the annual budget and plans for facility improvement and financing.
⚖️ Hearings and recommendations
The Board acts on Superintendent recommendations and may handle certain employee or student hearing matters.
🗣️ Public information
The Board keeps the public informed through official meetings, agendas, minutes, policies, and district communication.
Board meetings, work sessions, public comments, agendas, and video
The official Board of Education page says the Houston County Board of Education typically meets twice a month. The formal session is held the second Tuesday of the month at 1:00 p.m. at the central office located at 1100 Main Street in Perry. The work session is held the Monday evening before the second Tuesday unless that Monday falls on a holiday. Work sessions are held at 6:00 p.m. at various schools or the central office.
The official Board Meeting Video page says monthly meetings on the second Tuesday start at 1:00 p.m. and are broadcast live on YouTube. This is helpful for residents who cannot attend in person, but the video page should not replace the official Board page when you need meeting dates, agenda access, special meetings, or public comment instructions.
For public comments, the Addressing the Board page says a person who wants to be on the Board agenda must submit a request to the Superintendent’s office at least 24 hours before the meeting. The page lists the Superintendent’s office phone as 478-988-6257 for questions.

New student registration, appointments, and Central Registration
Houston County School District says registration for PreK-12 students is handled through Central Registration. The office is listed at 410 Bear Country Boulevard, Warner Robins, GA. The official Central Registration page lists the office as open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m..
The district registration process includes completing the online application, scheduling an appointment, reviewing required documents, and attending the scheduled appointment at Central Registration. Families should not assume that an online form alone completes enrollment. Missing documents, proof-of-residency issues, custody paperwork, health records, or appointment problems can delay registration.
Open Central Registration
Start from the official Central Registration page so you are following the current district process.
Complete the online application
Do not assume a partial account or saved form is enough. Follow the district’s full process.
Schedule the appointment
Use the official appointment process and contact Central Registration if you need scheduling support.
Bring documents and photo ID
Arrive with required records, proof of residency, and parent or guardian identification.
Required enrollment documents parents should prepare
The official registration documents page tells families to bring all listed items to the scheduled Central Registration appointment. Required items include parent or guardian photo ID, the child’s certified birth certificate, custody orders or court/guardianship papers when the child does not live with natural parents, proof of residency, health records, and school transfer records when applicable.
Families should check the official documents page before the appointment because proof-of-residency rules can be specific. A lease, mortgage statement, utility bill, government mail, vehicle registration, insurance document, tax statement, or other accepted item may be required depending on the situation. Health and immunization forms may also be required under Georgia school enrollment procedures.
🪪 Parent or guardian ID
Bring acceptable photo identification, such as a driver’s license, passport, work ID, or other listed ID.
🎂 Student identity
Bring the child’s certified birth certificate and Social Security card or signed waiver when applicable.
🏠 Proof of residence
Use the district’s official proof-of-residency list because acceptable documents are specific.
🏥 Health records
Georgia screening and immunization records may be required for enrollment.
⚖️ Custody documents
Court papers or guardianship documents may be required when the student does not live with natural parents.
📚 Transfer records
Withdrawal forms and report cards may be needed when transferring from another school system.
Do not guess documents. Registration is an official school-record process. Check the official documents page before the appointment, especially if you recently moved, have custody paperwork, are transferring from another system, or need health forms.
Student address changes, same-day processing, and school-zone moves
The official Change of Address page says families should complete the Change of Address Form and submit required documentation. For same-day service, families should visit Central Registration at 410 Bear Country Boulevard with the completed form and required documents.
If the move changes the school zone, the district says the family must come in person to Central Registration. If the school zone stays the same, the official page lists other submission methods such as email, drop box, or mail. Processing for documents submitted by email, drop box, or mail may take up to 5 business days to notify departments, including schools and transportation.
🏃 Same-day processing
Available in person at Central Registration with the completed form and required documents.
🏫 Zone changes
If your move changes the school zone, the official page says you must come in person to Central Registration.
📬 Same-zone changes
Email, drop box, or mail options may be available when the school zone does not change.
⏳ Processing time
Email, drop box, and mail submissions may take up to 5 business days to notify departments.
School zones, zoning maps, bus lookup, and address-based assignment
Houston County school assignment and bus eligibility are address-based. The district provides school zone and bus route lookup resources so families can search by address rather than guessing from city names, neighborhoods, subdivisions, or older attendance patterns.
Use the official zoning and bus route tools before buying or renting a home based on assumptions about school assignment. A Perry, Warner Robins, Bonaire, Kathleen, Centerville, or county address does not automatically tell you the assigned school without checking the official lookup resources.
🧭 Address lookup
Use official district lookup tools for school zone and bus information by address.
🗺️ Zoning maps
Use school-zone maps for a broader view, but confirm with the official lookup before final decisions.
📌 Out-of-zone questions
Follow district procedures. Do not assume a request is approved because a school is nearby.
⚠️ Address matters
Transportation and school assignment depend on the official student residence on file.
Bus routes, bus stops, Transportation Department, and route rules
The official Transportation page lists the Transportation Department at 311 Bear Country Boulevard, Warner Robins, Georgia 31088. It lists phone 478-329-2218. The page explains that parents should call Transportation to register a student to ride the bus and establish a bus stop.
The district says if the distance to the closest stop for the home address is more than .25 miles, crossing multiple lanes of traffic, and the address is eligible for transportation, parents must call to have a stop established. The district says it takes a minimum of 3-5 days to have a stop added to the route, and wait times may be greater during the first month of school.
The Transportation page also explains that students are assigned to a particular bus route and bus stop based on their home address. Changes in stop locations or bus assignments based on personal preferences or childcare are not allowed, and no bus passes allowing children to temporarily ride other buses will be approved.
🚌 Register a rider
Call Transportation at 478-329-2218 to register a student to ride and establish a bus stop.
📍 Address-based route
Bus route and stop eligibility are tied to the student’s official home address.
⏳ Stop setup time
The district says a new stop takes at least 3-5 days, with longer waits possible early in the year.
🚫 No personal changes
Stop changes and bus assignments cannot be based on personal preference or childcare convenience.
Bus rule reminder: Do not ask a driver to create or change a stop. Use the official Transportation Department process for bus rider setup and route questions.
School start times, doors open, and half-day pickup planning
Houston County families should use the official School Times page and school communications for daily start and dismissal times. School-level times can matter for bus pickup, car rider lines, breakfast, after-school care, athletics, and appointment planning.
Half days require extra attention. A half-day dismissal listed on the district calendar should not be treated like a normal school day. Confirm the current half-day dismissal time for your child’s school level and watch for school-specific messages from the principal or front office.
🍎 Elementary schools
Check the official School Times page and school office for current opening and dismissal information.
🎒 Middle schools
Middle school schedules may differ from elementary and high school schedules.
🎓 High schools
High school times and program schedules should be confirmed with the official district page or school office.
⏱️ Half days
Use the calendar and school messages for early release. Normal pickup time may not apply.
Parent portals, district apps, grades, attendance, and family communication
Houston County parents often need quick access to grades, attendance, school messages, student schedules, school menus, bus alerts, and district announcements. The official district website links families to parent-facing tools and department pages so they can avoid unofficial apps and outdated instructions.
For grades and attendance, use the district’s official parent portal link. For bus-related information, use Transportation and the bus route resources. For meal payments and menu details, use School Nutrition. For school-specific communication, start with your child’s school website or school office.

School menus, breakfast, lunch, payments, and nutrition updates
The district’s School Nutrition resources should be used for current menus, breakfast and lunch information, meal payment links, food service updates, and nutrition program guidance. Menus and product availability can change because of supply, school schedules, weather, or program updates.

The district states that requests made through fax, email, phone call, or mail will no longer be accepted.
Current students should contact their school counselor for transcript support. Former students should use the secure student records process linked by the district.

Public records requests can involve deadlines, privacy limits, fees, redactions, exemptions, and department review. If you need board documents, public communications, spending records, policy documents, or other government records, use the official Open Records page and write a clear request for identifiable records.

Facility requests may require school-level approval, district review, forms, fees, insurance, schedule checks, and policy compliance. Do not advertise an event or collect payments until the district and school have approved the facility use in writing.

Some services may involve fees, third-party processing, or program-specific costs.
