Note: Approved by the Board of Trustees on March 24, 2026 (file updated June 30, 2026). El Paso ISD uses an Additional Days School Year (ADSY) calendar: the intersession weeks Sep. 28 - Oct. 2 (Fall Accelerated Instruction), Mar. 8-12 (Spring Accelerated Instruction) and June 7 - July 2 (Summer Intersession) are only for students who are required to attend and are not among the 175 instructional days, so most students have no school Sep. 28 - Oct. 12 and Mar. 8-19. Parent-teacher conference early releases apply to one level each: high school Sep. 9 and Feb. 3, elementary Sep. 15 and Feb. 1, middle/PK-8 Sep. 17 and Feb. 9. Jan. 4 (teacher work day) and Jan. 5 (teacher PD) are no-school days; students return Jan. 6. Presidents' Day (Feb. 15) is a school day.
