Calendar Notes
District context: North East Independent School District serves San Antonio Area 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 27, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 4, 2027), and 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 Spring Break (March 8, 2027 - March 12, 2027) and Severe Weather Makeup Day (conditional) (February 15, 2027). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Elementary Early Dismissal (September 23, 2026), Elementary Early Dismissal (September 24, 2026), High School Early Dismissal (December 17, 2026), and High School Early Dismissal (December 18, 2026). Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Student Holiday / Staff Development (October 9, 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 North East ISD 2026-2027 Instructional 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.
