The Cardinal Connection

We are excited to release the 2026-2027 Red Clay Consolidated School District Academic Calendar. This calendar highlights crucial dates and events shaping our educational path in the year ahead, including the first day of school, winter and spring breaks, parent-teacher conferences, and holidays, among other noteworthy activities that enhance our students' learning experiences.

It’s not too late to join Cooke Elementary Cardinals for the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge! We are halfway through our campaign and although we reached our goal, we want to keep more hearts beating strong.

Together we can make a difference! 💕
