Calendar Notes
District context: Ysleta Independent School District serves El Paso Area families, where the district calendar is the practical baseline for school-year planning. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 3, 2026 and finish on June 4, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Fall Intersession (September 28, 2026 - October 2, 2026), Fall Break (October 5, 2026 - October 12, 2026), Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), and Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 4, 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 Fall Intersession (September 28, 2026 - October 2, 2026), Spring Intersession (March 8, 2027 - March 12, 2027), Spring Break (March 15, 2027 - March 19, 2027), and Possible Inclement Weather Make-Up Day (March 22, 2027). Early release or half-day entries to watch include Early Release / Students Half-Day (December 18, 2026) and Early Release / Students Half-Day / Last Instructional Day (June 4, 2027). 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 Ysleta ISD 2026-2027 calendar, board approved January 14, 2026 and revised March 23, 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.
