Calendar Notes
District context: International Leadership of Texas serves Statewide charter network families, where the district calendar is the practical baseline for school-year planning. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 13, 2026 and finish on May 26, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Fall Break (October 12, 2026 - October 16, 2026), Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 18, 2026 - January 6, 2027), and Houston Area 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 Houston Area Spring Break (March 8, 2027 - March 12, 2027), Brazos County & DFW Spring Break (March 15, 2027 - March 19, 2027), Inclement Weather Day #1 (conditional) (March 26, 2027), and Inclement Weather Day #2 (conditional) (May 27, 2027). No recurring early-release entry is listed in the student-facing data used for this page. Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Student Holiday (September 21, 2026), Student Holiday (January 18, 2027), Student Holiday (February 22, 2027), and Student Holiday (April 30, 2027). If bad weather or emergency closures later change the calendar, families should compare this page with the district source before making travel, attendance, or childcare plans.
Official-source handling: Dates are from the ILTexas 2026-2027 calendar, board approved April 22, 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.
