Calendar Notes
District context: Granbury 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 21, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Christmas 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 Conditional Bad Weather Makeup Day (March 26, 2027). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release Day (December 18, 2026) and Last Day of School / Early Release Day (May 21, 2027). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Student Holiday (September 4, 2026), Student Holiday (September 21, 2026), Student Holiday (October 8, 2026), and Student Holiday (November 2, 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 Granbury ISD 2026-2027 GISD School Calendar. 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.
