About the Alvin ISD 2026–2027 Academic Calendar calendar
Data source
This page combines Alvin ISD's January 14, 2026 calendar approval announcement, the approved 2026-2027 Academic Calendar PDF and the district's Back to School page. The announcement confirms the approval date, named breaks, last student day and graduation schedule; the PDF supplies the full date grid, grading periods and STAAR windows; the Back to School page supplies campus hours and early-release times.
How dates are handled
The August 12 first-day event is limited to Pre-K, Kindergarten, grades 6 and 9, while August 13 is the general start. November 23-24 remain separate from the November 25-27 holidays because the staff categories differ, although students are out for the full week. Winter break is shown as a continuous student no-class period through January 5, with January 5 still identified as professional learning. The three STAAR entries preserve the district's complete official windows, including intervening weekends. Teacher-only dates before school and after the last student day are excluded.
Updates
The Alvin ISD Board of Trustees approved the calendar January 13, 2026, and the district published its approval announcement January 14. The official sources were reviewed October 3, 2026. The approval announcement confirms May 27 as the last student day and lists Class of 2027 graduation dates and venues.
Disclaimer
The attendance-day totals and break-length calculations are derived from the official dates and are not district-published totals. Early-release days count as student attendance dates. The current calendar does not designate bad-weather make-up dates or report-card distribution dates, and STAAR windows are not individual testing appointments.
