Source and scope
About the Clear Creek ISD 2026–2027 Academic Calendar calendar
Data source
Student dates, grading-period marks, holidays, early-release dates and bad-weather dates come from Clear Creek ISD's official 2026-2027 Academic Calendar. The 2026-2027 Back-to-School Guide adds PK/K Transition Day half-day information, regular schedules for all grades on August 12 and the current School Hours table. The Calendar & Events page links separate grade-reporting and assessment resources.
How dates are handled
August 12 is the regular first-semester boundary used for attendance statistics; August 11 is kept as a grade-scoped transition event, not as a districtwide first day. October 9 and 12 remain separate official events, with their continuous weekend shown in breaks. October 13 and April 12 retain conditional-attendance status and are excluded from confirmed no-school totals. Staff-only learning dates before the student year or after May 20 are omitted. The August 11 event does not assert how the grade-specific transition schedule counts toward an annual instructional-day total. Its scheduleDetails apply the official half-day arrangement only to Pre-K and kindergarten; no uniform schedule type or clock time is inferred for Grades 6 and 9. scheduleSourceId cites this schedule information without implying that arrival or dismissal times were published. August 12 retains the academic PDF's official First Day for All Other Grades name and corresponding first-day gradeScope; scheduleScope=All grades and scheduleStatus=regular separately reflect the guide's regular schedule for all grades. The two conditional make-up dates use countsAsStudentAttendanceDayUnderPublishedSchedule=false, not an unconditional attendance exclusion. Science Magnet has an unresolved time-source conflict: the academic PDF groups WAVE/Science Magnet at 12:10 PM, while the Back-to-School Guide's School Hours table groups Intermediate & Science Magnet at 1:00 PM and lists WAVE Magnet separately at 12:10 PM. This is a dismissal-time conflict, not an uncertain attendance date; it does not change regular-semester statistics. Early-release events retain their official dates and identify conflictField=earlyReleaseTime.scienceMagnet. conflictSourceIds lists the additional source conflicting with the primary academic-calendar sourceId. The early-release FAQ gives all uncontested times and both Science Magnet candidate times, without selecting one.
Updates
The current academic PDF, Calendar & Events page and 2026-2027 Back-to-School Guide were checked October 4, 2026. The current linked PDF matches the supplied local AcademicCalendar26-27-APPROVED.pdf. No approval date or revision date is printed on the academic PDF; its filename and file creation metadata are not used as publication dates. The official Science Magnet dismissal-time discrepancy remains unresolved.
Disclaimer
Use the schedule for your student's grade and campus. August 11 is a half day for PK and kindergarten; sixth- and ninth-grade families should follow campus Transition Day instructions. October 13 and April 12 are student holidays under the published schedule but may be used for bad-weather make-up instruction.
