School calendar

Where to get Gadsden City school calendar PDFs, events and board dates

The official Open 2025-2026 Gadsden City Schools Yearly Calendar page says the 2025-2026 school calendar was approved by the Gadsden City Board of Education. Families should use that official calendar page before saving dates, planning school breaks, arranging childcare, or scheduling travel.

For live system-wide events, use Open Calendar of Events. The district explains that there is always a lot going on in its schools and tells users to check individual school calendars or the system-wide events shown on the event calendar.
