Calendar Notes
District context: Lockhart Independent School District serves Central Texas 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 27, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Student Holiday (September 25, 2026), Fall Break (October 12, 2026 - October 16, 2026), Student Holiday (November 2, 2026), and Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026). 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). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release (LHS & PHS) (December 15, 2026), Early Release (LHS & PHS) (December 16, 2026), Early Release (LHS & PHS) (December 17, 2026), and Early Release District Wide (December 18, 2026). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Student Holiday / Bad Weather Day (March 29, 2027), Student/Teacher Holiday (April 30, 2027), Student Holiday (September 25, 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 Lockhart ISD Student Calendar 2026-2027, board approved February 23, 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.
