Calendar Notes
District context: Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District serves Rio Grande Valley families, where the district calendar is the practical baseline for school-year planning. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 10, 2026 and finish on May 21, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 1, 2027), and Spring Break (March 15, 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 15, 2027 - March 19, 2027), Inclement Weather Day (October 9, 2026), First Instructional Day (August 10, 2026), and Last Instructional Day (May 21, 2027). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release (November 20, 2026) and Early Release (December 18, 2026). Teacher planning days and student holidays are separated from regular school days whenever the official source identifies them. 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 Rio Grande City Grulla 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.
