Here are five things to know about the school calendar:
1. Aug. 7: First Day of School (It's OK to be a little jealous of Walton County next door, which opens Aug. 14).
2. Nov. 25-29:Β Thanksgiving Break. Hey kids, your parents only got Thursday and Friday off when they were your age.
3. Dec. 23-Jan. 6:Β Winter Break. Wow. Includes three weekends!
4. April 7-11:Β Spring Break. It will feel like longer than that if your break includes a road trip to Orlando.
5. May 21:Β Last day of school. That's if a snow day doesn't come into play.
