Calendar Notes
District context: Ennis Independent School District serves Dallas-Fort Worth Area 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 19, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 1, 2027), and Spring Break (March 15, 2027 - March 19, 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 15, 2027 - March 19, 2027) and Last Student Day (May 19, 2027). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Student Early Release (December 18, 2026) and Last Student Day / Student Early Release (May 19, 2027). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Conditional Bad Weather/PD Day (May 20, 2027), Conditional Bad Weather/PD Day (May 21, 2027), Student Holiday (September 21, 2026), and Student Holiday (October 9, 2026). 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 Ennis ISD 2026-2027 calendar, approved January 13, 2026. 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.
