2025-26 Calendar Options

About the 2025-2026 School Calendar Options

This year there are three draft calendars for consideration. Each option considers instructional needs, professional development (PD), workdays, and breaks to balance student learning with staff support and well-being.

All calendar options include: 

  • At least 75,600 operational minutes (465 minutes for each full day of instruction)
  • A minimum bank of 840 additional minutes to use in the event of bad weather and other issues of health and safety, as required by the Texas Education Agency
  • Professional learning and teacher planning embedded within the school year
  • Consistent and regular breaks each month including a fall break
  • Traditional holiday structure (a weeklong Thanksgiving break, a two-week winter break, a weeklong Spring Break)
  • End the 1st semester before winter break
  • End the school year  on May 21

After reviewing each calendar below, take the survey and give us your feedback. Survey closes January 5 at midnight.
