We fetch this document again every day and compare it with the version we verified; if the district changes it, the dates here are read again.

Note: Board approved on February 3, 2026. The two weather make-up days, November 11 (Veterans Day holiday for students, also a teacher preparation day) and February 26 (Charro Days holiday), are no-school days unless they are needed to make up days lost to bad weather. Students' winter break runs through Monday, January 4 (a teacher preparation day); staff return that day. Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 18) is a regular school day. February 25 (Charro Days) is an early dismissal day: middle schools 11:45 am, elementary 12:15 pm, high schools 1:00 pm. A separate ADSY/Extended Day Calendar linked next to this one adds Additional Days School Year (ADSY) days on July 20-23 and 27-30, 2026, five Saturdays (Jan 30, Feb 6, Feb 20, Mar 6, Apr 3) and June 1-23, 2027; it does not say which campuses or students take part, and its first and last class days and holidays are the same as this calendar. Graduation dates are from the district's online event calendar (not this PDF): its high schools (Pace, Brownsville, Porter, Rivera, Veterans Memorial, Hanna and Lopez Early College High Schools) hold graduation May 26-31, 2027.
