Note: Dates approved by the Board of Trustees on Jan. 22, 2026. Arlington ISD publishes separate elementary (Pre-K-6) and secondary (grades 7-12) student calendars with the same days off; they differ only in early dismissal days. The calendar labels every break 'Student & Staff Holiday' and does not name them; the Nov. 23-27, Dec. 21-Jan. 1 and Mar. 15-19 weeks are stored as the Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks. Oct. 9 and Feb. 12 are student holidays for parent conferences. March 26 and April 23 are student and staff holidays designated as bad weather makeup days (if needed), so school may be held on them. Early College High Schools follow a separate calendar not included here.
