Berrien County Board of Education: School Calendar, Office & Parent Help
The Berrien County Board of Education is the local public school governing body for Berrien County Schools in Nashville, Georgia. Families usually come looking for the 2026–27 school calendar, central office phone number, board members, meeting records, registration, transportation or the right school office.
This guide keeps those Berrien County routes together. Use it as an independent navigation page, then confirm changing dates, forms and district notices on the official Berrien County Schools website before making plans.

Georgia vs. Michigan: this page covers Berrien County Schools in Nashville, Georgia. Search results for Berrien County, Michigan refer to a different county and different education agencies.
Berrien County Schools calendar: where families should check dates
The district Parent Information page currently links the 2026–2027 School Calendar, a separate 2026–2027 Testing Calendar and a BCS Family Vacation Planner. Those are the best starting points for attendance planning.
Berrien Elementary’s current-year announcement confirms that students returned for the 2026–27 school year on August 5, 2026. For holidays, teacher workdays, early release, breaks and the final day of school, use the live district calendar rather than an older screenshot or cached PDF.
District school calendar
Use this for student holidays, breaks, in-service days, early-release days and other districtwide school-year dates.
Testing calendar
The Parent Information and Staff Resources pages separately link the district’s 2026–27 testing calendar.
Live events
The district Events page is better for activities and individual event listings that do not belong on the academic calendar.
Planning tip: the school calendar and the Board meeting calendar are separate. A student holiday does not automatically mean the Board office is closed, and a Board meeting date is not an academic-calendar date.
The district’s Parent Information page keeps the current calendar, testing calendar and related family resources together.

Open Berrien County Board Members →How to check Berrien County Board of Education meeting dates
The district Board Meetings page currently provides separate links for 2024, 2025 and 2026 Board Meeting Dates. Because the official 2026 schedule is maintained through a linked district document, it is safer to open the current schedule than to copy a static list that may later be revised.
Open the official Board Meetings page
Start with the district website rather than a search-result PDF or old meeting notice.
Choose 2026 Board Meeting Dates
The district keeps each year’s schedule as a separate linked document.
Check the agenda close to meeting day
The schedule tells you when a Board meeting is planned. The agenda tells you what business is actually posted for that meeting.
Use minutes for past Board action
If you need to confirm what was approved, use the posted Board minutes rather than assuming every agenda item passed.
Where to find Berrien County Board agendas and minutes
The official Agendas & Minutes page links district meeting folders and a Simbli Board Minutes route. Use these sources when you need the Board’s meeting record, not a social-media summary.
Agenda
Use the agenda before or during a meeting to see scheduled Board business and supporting items.
Minutes
Use approved minutes when you need the later record of Board actions and votes.
Do not mix documents: a school calendar is not a Board agenda, and an agenda is not proof that a proposed action was approved. Use the document that matches the question you are trying to answer.
Berrien County Schools: direct phone numbers
For attendance, teacher contact, a student schedule, nurse questions, school events or day-to-day campus matters, calling the student’s school is usually faster than starting with the Board office.
Quick routing rule: school-day issue → school office. District department issue → central office. Board meeting or policy record → Board pages.
Berrien County Schools registration and PowerSchool
The official Parent Information page currently links a Registration Form for Berrien County Schools and the district’s PowerSchool Login. Start there instead of relying on a third-party registration checklist.
New or returning student registration
Use the district’s current registration form and contact the district or appropriate school if you need help with the current enrollment process.
PowerSchool
The Parent Information page links the district PowerSchool login for supported student and family information.
Document privacy: do not upload birth certificates, medical records, proof of residence, student IDs or PowerSchool credentials to an unofficial website. Use the district’s actual form or portal.
Berrien County Schools transportation and bus routes
The Transportation page currently provides 2026–2027 Bus Routes, revised bus-driver and bus-number information, revised bus lineup information and Georgia Department of Education loading/unloading procedures.
Transportation Director
Michael Powe is listed by the district as Transportation Director.
Main district number: 229-686-2081.
Before using an old route
Check the current 2026–27 route and driver documents. Bus numbers, stops and lineups can be revised during the year.

Open Berrien County Schools Staff →Useful Berrien County parent links beyond the calendar
The Parent Information page is more than a calendar page. It also brings together attendance, school supplies, safety reporting, health resources, after-school information, registration and transportation links.
Attendance Protocol

School Supply Lists
The parent page links separate supply lists for Berrien Primary, Elementary, Middle, High and Academy.
Anonymous Alerts
The district provides an Anonymous Alerts route for reporting bullying and other safety concerns through its supported reporting system.
Military families: Berrien County Schools also maintains a Military Families page with Moody Air Force Base school-liaison information and district guidance for military-connected students.
