Calendar Notes
District context: San Antonio 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 12, 2026 and finish on May 26, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 5, 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). No recurring early-release entry is listed in the student-facing data used for this page. Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Student Holiday / Professional Development (September 18, 2026), Student Holiday / Professional Development (October 9, 2026), Student Holiday / Parent-Teacher Conferences (October 23, 2026), and Student Holiday / Professional Development (November 6, 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 San Antonio ISD 2026-2027 Instructional Calendar, v2, approved by the Board May 11, 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.

Yes. San Antonio ISD has designated potential bad-weather make-up days. If no weather closures occur, these days typically remain regular holidays for students. Texas law requires districts to provide at least 75,600 minutes of instruction per year, so missed days must be recovered through make-up days, extended hours, or waivers from the Texas Education Agency.
San Antonio ISD schedules 9 teacher-only or professional development days during 2026-2027 when students do not attend. These include: September 18, 2026 (Student Holiday / Professional Development); October 9, 2026 (Student Holiday / Professional Development); October 23, 2026 (Student Holiday / Parent-Teacher Conferences); November 6, 2026 (Student Holiday / Professional Development). On these days, teachers participate in training and curriculum planning while students have the day off. Parents should arrange childcare if needed, as after-school programs may also be closed.
Between the first day (August 12, 2026) and last day (May 26, 2027), San Antonio ISD students have approximately 36 weekdays off for holidays, breaks, and teacher workdays. That leaves roughly 170 potential instructional days across the school year. Texas requires a minimum of 75,600 minutes of instruction, which most districts meet through approximately 170-180 student days.
San Antonio ISD students return to class on Wednesday, January 6, 2027 after Winter Break. The second semester typically begins on this date. Make sure your children's school supplies are restocked and any required forms are submitted before the return date. Check with your campus for any orientation or welcome-back activities.
