Planning notes

Christmas Day (Friday, December 25, 2026) and New Year’s Day (Friday, January 1, 2027) both fall inside the break.
Students also have no school on Mon, Jan 4, 2027, which makes the time off 17 days long.
Friday, December 18, 2026, the last day before the break, is an early release day.

Verified against Edinburg CISD’s official 2026-2027 calendar on September 26, 2026 (board-approved version). Confidence: High.

Note: Board approved 3/21/2026 (printed on the calendar). November 23, 2026 (first day of Thanksgiving week) and February 15, 2027 (Presidents Day) are intersession/weather make-up days: no school unless needed to make up bad-weather days. Labor Day (Sept 7) and Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan 18) are not holidays on this calendar; the reporting-period day counts include them as school days. January 4 is a staff workday; students return January 5. Early release Dec 18 and May 28 (elementary 12:15, middle 1:30, high school 2:30). 175 student days = sum of the six reporting-period day counts printed on the calendar (30+24+25+29+32+35). Aug 17-21 are marked ADSY/Enrichment/Prep Days before the first day for students (the district's 2026-27 student registration flyer calls them the ADSY Enrichment Camp, gives August 24 as the first day of school and says to contact your child's school), and an ADSY summer program runs in June 2027. Graduations (from the calendar): RVHS, CHS and ENHS on May 29; JEHS and EHS on May 30. Memorial Day (May 31) is after the last day. The district's pages show a browser check to this network; the project's crawler found this file linked as '2026-2027 ECISD School Calendar' on the district calendar page on Sept 24, 2026. The latest Web Archive capture of that page (May 17, 2026; there is none from the last 60 days) links the same file and lists the same key dates as text.
