Calendar Notes
District context: Deer Park Independent School District serves Greater Houston families, where the district calendar is the practical baseline for school-year planning. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 12, 2026 and finish on May 20, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Fall Holidays (October 8, 2026 - October 12, 2026), Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 18, 2026 - January 4, 2027), and Spring Break (March 8, 2027 - March 12, 2027). Parents can use this view for travel windows, shared-custody exchanges, childcare coverage, after-school activities, and comparing district days off with work schedules.
What to watch: Notable local calendar items include Spring Break (March 8, 2027 - March 12, 2027) and Conditional Bad Weather Make-Up Day (February 15, 2027). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Dismissal (May 20, 2027). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Student Holiday (September 21, 2026), Student Holiday (October 26, 2026), Student Holiday (November 13, 2026), and Student Holiday (January 18, 2027). Bad-weather, inclement-weather, or makeup-day language is preserved when the district publishes it, which matters for childcare, transportation, and travel planning.
Official-source handling: Dates are from the Deer Park ISD 2026-2027 school calendar approved by the Board of Trustees on December 15, 2025. We manually review first-party district material, screen it for student-facing dates, and organize it into key dates, calendar grids, downloadable files, and printable summaries. Because this page is marked official, families can use it as the main planning view while still checking the district source for late revisions. User-submitted corrections are checked against official district sources before this page is updated.
