Calendar Notes
District context: Montgomery Independent School District serves Greater Houston 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 27, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Fall Break (October 9, 2026 - October 16, 2026), Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 4, 2027), and Spring Break (March 12, 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 12, 2027 - March 19, 2027). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release (December 18, 2026) and Last Day / Early Release (May 27, 2027). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Student Holiday (September 18, 2026). 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 Montgomery ISD 2026-2027 District Academic 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.
