Calendar Notes
District context: New Braunfels 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 17, 2026 and finish on May 21, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Fall Break (October 9, 2026 - October 12, 2026), Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 30, 2026), Holiday Break (December 21, 2026 - January 4, 2027), and February Break (February 12, 2027 - February 15, 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 February Break (February 12, 2027 - February 15, 2027), Spring Break (March 8, 2027 - March 15, 2027), and Comal County Fair (September 25, 2026). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release (3 hours) (December 18, 2026) and Last Day / Early Release (3 hours) (May 21, 2027). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Staff Development/Work Day / Bad Weather Make-up Day (May 24, 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 New Braunfels ISD 2026-2027 NBISD 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.
