Calendar Notes
District context: Kingsville Independent School District serves South Texas families, where the district calendar is the practical baseline for school-year planning. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 24, 2026 and finish on June 8, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Professional Development - Student Holiday (September 25, 2026), Teacher Workday - Student Holiday (October 23, 2026), Thanksgiving Holiday (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), and Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 4, 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 Bad Weather/Emergency Closure (January 28, 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 Teacher Workday / Bad Weather-Emergency Closure (March 29, 2027), Professional Development / Student Holiday (September 25, 2026), Teacher Workday / Student Holiday (October 23, 2026), and Professional Development / Student Holiday (February 5, 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 Kingsville ISD 2026-2027 Academic Calendar, board approved March 25, 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.
