Where to check Paulding County school calendar dates, breaks and early release
The official Open PCSD Calendar page is the first place to check for school-year calendar information. The district calendar covers first day of school, professional learning days, grading windows, digital learning days, fall break, winter break, spring break, early release, last day of school, staff workdays, and graduation ceremonies.
For the 2025-2026 calendar, the official PDF lists August 1 as the first day of school. It lists September 1 as a holiday with schools closed, September 22-26 as Fall Break with schools closed, October 10 as a digital learning day / school day connected to the end of the first nine weeks, October 13-14 as early release / parent-teacher conference dates, November 24-28 as Holiday Break with schools closed, December 19 as early release and end of the second nine weeks, and December 22-31 as Holiday Break with schools closed.

Do not rely on a screenshot from a parent group or an old PDF. Paulding County calendar dates are school-year-specific. Before booking travel, arranging childcare, planning custody swaps, scheduling doctor appointments, or planning graduation visits, open the official calendar page and confirm the year.
📅 Use the correct year
Calendar dates change every school year. Confirm 2025-2026, 2026-2027, or the year you actually need.
💻 Digital learning days
DLD dates are not the same as normal holidays. Read each calendar label carefully.
⏰ Early release
Early release dates affect pickup, transportation, after-school care, and work schedules.
⚠️ Recheck close to the date
Weather, emergencies, board updates, or operational changes can affect school calendars.
Paulding County BOE office address, phone, fax and visit planning
The main Paulding County School District office is listed at 3236 Atlanta Highway, Dallas, GA 30132. The district footer lists phone 770-443-8000 and fax 770-443-8089. The same address appears across official district pages, including Board of Education, schools, transportation, records, and district resource pages.
Use the main office for district-level routing, board-related questions, central office direction, department help, public information, and questions that are not tied to one school. If your issue is about a student’s attendance, classroom assignment, teacher communication, school pickup, club, discipline, or local event, the student’s school office is usually the faster first contact.
Do not treat the district office as the right place for every task. Enrollment, bus routing, student records, nutrition, school safety, special education, and employment questions each have separate official pages or departments. The fastest result comes from choosing the correct department first.
✅ Contact central office for
District routing, board-related information, public information, department direction, and general district contact help.
🏫 Contact the school for
Attendance notes, classroom concerns, pickup rules, teacher contact, local events, and school-specific questions.
🧾 Use Central Registration for
New enrollment, proof of residence, kindergarten registration, document upload, and address-change guidance.
🚌 Use Transportation for
Bus stop locator, route questions, Here Comes the Bus, ESEP routing help, and bus safety questions.
What the Paulding County Board of Education does and who serves on it
The official Board of Education page says there are seven elected members of the Paulding County Board of Education. These members represent six districts with one member serving at large, and all members are elected county-wide.
The official board listing names Theresa Lyons for District 1, Nicholas Chester for District 2, Adam Clayton as Vice Chair for District 3, Deborah Collett for District 4, Trudy Sowar for District 5, Dan Nolan for District 6, and Jeff Fuller as Chair and At-Large member. Board membership and officer roles can change, so use the official board page before citing names publicly or contacting a member.
The board page also links to legislative priorities, news from the board, board meeting agendas, board policies, board meeting videos, board members, and public participation rules. For agenda details and policy language, the district points users to Simbli/eBoardSolutions.
👥 Seven elected members
The board includes six district members and one at-large member.
📍 County-wide elections
The district states all members are elected county-wide.
📄 Agenda and policy links
Use the official board page and Simbli links for agendas, policies, and meeting documents.
🔁 Check current roles
Board names, chair roles, and meeting resources can change after elections or reorganization.
How to check Paulding BOE meeting videos, agendas and public participation rules
Use Open Board Meetings Online for live streams and past Paulding County Board of Education meetings. The district page points users to the board YouTube channel and meeting playlist.
Use the official Board of Education page for 2026 meeting dates, news from the board, board resources, and links to agendas and policies. The district also links meeting agendas and the policy manual through Simbli/eBoardSolutions. If you need the exact agenda, packet, minutes, or policy language, use the official agenda platform linked from the board page.
For public participation, the district explains that meetings are structured to allow the board to conduct public business. Meetings are open to the public, but they are not to be confused with public forums. The public participation policy states that opportunities to address the board in open session are available to eligible Paulding County residents, district students or parents/guardians, non-resident property owners within the district boundaries, and district employees under the listed guidelines.
Open the Board of Education page
Confirm current board resources, meeting dates, agenda links, board policies, board members, and public participation rules.
Use Board Meetings Online for video
Watch live streams or past meetings through the district’s official online meeting page and linked YouTube playlist.
Use official agenda links

Meeting caution: Meeting time, format, agenda items, and public comment rules can change. Always check the official board page before traveling, preparing remarks, or sharing meeting information.
Paulding County student enrollment, Central Registration and online forms
Use Open Central Registration for enrollment, registration requirements, registration forms, kindergarten registration, acceptable proof of residence, document upload instructions, legal residence affidavit, kinship caregiver affidavit, address changes, school/bus stop locator, contact information, enrollment FAQs, and withdrawal information.
The Central Registration section is the right starting point for new student enrollment and school-year registration tasks. The district’s registration pages explain that required documents must be uploaded or provided through the official process. The district also references secure online registration and document-upload steps.
If at least one acceptable proof of residence is not in the enrolling parent or guardian’s name or spouse’s name, the district states that a Statement of Legal Residence form may be required. That form is not proof of residence by itself; it is an additional form required in certain living arrangements and must follow district rules.
🧾 Enrollment hub
Central Registration is the official hub for enrollment, forms, registration requirements, and address-related enrollment guidance.
🏠 Proof of residence
The district has specific proof-of-residence requirements. Do not guess or bring incomplete proof.
📝 Legal residence forms
A Statement of Legal Residence may be needed if proof is not in the parent/guardian or spouse’s name.
🎒 Kindergarten
Use the current kindergarten registration page for the correct school year and document process.
Documents parents should prepare for Paulding County school registration
The official registration requirements page lists items such as acceptable proof of residence, parent/guardian state-issued picture ID, birth certificate or acceptable proof of age for certain grade levels, and Georgia Department of Health Form 3231 Certificate of Immunization or a notarized Georgia Department of Health Form 2208 Affidavit of Religious Objection to Immunization when applicable.
The official proof-of-residence page says a first full page of a monthly utility bill or mortgage statement issued within the last 30 days may be used if it includes the service address. The page explains that the remittance portion only is not acceptable and that the document must show the company name/logo, bill holder’s name, service/property address, and due or bill date.
Because registration is an official student-record process, small details matter. A mailing address may not satisfy the service-address requirement. A partial bill may not work. A proof in another person’s name may require extra forms. Always read the current registration requirements before uploading documents or visiting a school office.
🪪 Parent or guardian ID
Bring or upload a state-issued picture ID when required by the registration process.
🎂 Student identity
Birth certificate or acceptable proof of age may be required for special needs pre-K, kindergarten, or first grade.
🏠 Residence proof
Use the official proof-of-residence page because bill date, service address, and name requirements are specific.
🏥 Health forms
Georgia immunization documentation or official objection forms may be required under district rules.
Document warning: Do not upload private student records through unofficial websites. Use only the official Paulding County School District registration pages and links.
Address changes for currently enrolled Paulding County students
The official Change of Address page says the completed forms, state-issued picture ID, and two acceptable proofs of residence should be taken to the student’s school as soon as the family has moved. The district also states that transportation cannot be changed to the new residence until the change-of-address packet and at least one valid proof of residence is received.
If only one proof of residence can be provided when the paperwork is submitted, the district says the family will receive an email with a due date for the second proof of residence. Because address changes can affect school zone, bus stop, routing, and official student records, do not delay this process after moving.
📄 Forms and ID
Use completed address-change forms and a state-issued picture ID.
🏠 Two proofs
The district says two acceptable proofs of residence should be submitted after moving.
🚌 Transportation impact
Transportation cannot be changed to the new residence until required address paperwork is received.
⏳ Do it quickly
Submit the packet as soon as you move to avoid school, record, and bus-route problems.
School and bus stop locator for Paulding County addresses
Use the official Open Bus Stop & School Locator to find address-based information. The district says the locator is for regular education routes, and every effort is made to keep the information accurate.
The locator page also warns that routes are updated and/or changed daily, and the displayed information is subject to change without prior notice. It also states that ESEP special education routing is not available through the regular locator, and Pre-K routing is available only through ESEP.
Use this tool before assuming a school assignment based on a subdivision, ZIP code, city name, or nearby campus. School boundaries and bus routing are address-specific, and the official locator is safer than guessing from a map.
🧭 Address-based lookup
Use the locator for school and regular education bus information by address.
🚌 Regular education routes
The locator is for regular education routes and does not cover all special routing.
♿ ESEP routing
Special education and Pre-K routing require direct assistance, not the public regular locator.
⚠️ Routes can change
The district says bus route information can change daily without prior notice.
Bus routes, Here Comes the Bus app, bus rider policy and transportation contact
The official Transportation Department page says Paulding County School District is committed to safe, professional, and reliable transportation for eligible students. The transportation contact page lists phone 770-443-8035 and fax 770-443-8037.
The transportation overview says PCSD transports over 19,000 students and travels over 13,000 miles each day. It says the district uses VersaTrans for school bus stops and school locator information, and that bus stop assignments are determined by the primary residential address.
The bus stop locator page asks that students be at their designated bus stop five minutes before the scheduled arrival time. The transportation page also includes a bus rider policy stating that if a student does not ride the assigned school bus for seven consecutive school days, the student and/or bus stop may be removed from the route, and parents must contact Transportation before ridership can resume.
For bus tracking, use Open Here Comes the Bus. The district describes it as an easy-to-use website and app that allows parents to see the location of their child’s school bus on a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
📲 Here Comes the Bus
Use the app or website for bus location information when available through the district setup.
📍 Primary residence
Bus stop assignments are determined by the student’s primary residential address.
⏰ Be early
The district asks students to be at the designated bus stop five minutes before scheduled arrival.
🚌 Seven-day rule
If a student does not ride for seven consecutive school days, the student and/or stop may be removed from the route.
School meals, nutrition portal, online applications and MySchoolBucks payments
Use the official Open Nutrition Portal for school nutrition information. The district’s nutrition section also links online meal applications and the online payment system.
The official online payment page explains that meal prepayments through MySchoolBucks may be made online for a $2.49 per school transaction fee. It says the transaction fee is added to the total amount allocated to the student’s account. It also says payments can take about one hour to post, and first-time account funding can take at least 24 hours before a seven-day account history is available.
Do not use an unofficial payment page for school meals. Start from the district’s nutrition section or official payment page, especially before entering student account information, payment details, or parent login credentials.
🍽️ Nutrition portal
Use the official nutrition page for menus, applications, payment links, and program information.
💳 MySchoolBucks

🔐 Payment safety
Use district-linked payment tools only. Do not enter payment information on random websites.
Transcripts, student records, records center hours and special education records
Use the official Open Student Records Page for student records and transcript help. The district says all record requests by K-12 school districts for former students in grades K-12 must be made online through K12 ScribTransfer, and fax, phone calls, emails, and mail will not be accepted for those K-12 school district requests.
The Student Records overview says the Records Management Center is available for former students, post-secondary schools, and prospective employers to obtain specific student records. With proper proof of identity, the Records Center can provide transcripts and other school-related information.
The Records Center is listed at 522 Hardee Street, Dallas, GA 30132. The official records page lists hours as weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. It recommends calling for an appointment. The contact listed is Beth Beaty, Records Management Center Coordinator, phone 770-443-8003 ext. 10348, fax 770-505-3623, and email ebeaty@paulding.k12.ga.us.
