School calendar overview
The 2026–2027 Academic Calendar school calendar begins Aug 25, 2026 and ends May 27, 2027.
Before you plan
Attendance, no-school totals and contiguous break lengths are derived. Early-release days are attendance dates, not full instructional days. Calculated dismissal times subtract two hours from printed regular hours and should be checked against campus instructions. Activated weather make-up dates can change the student-day total. Grading-period boundaries do not imply report-card distribution. Appointments, testing, ceremonies and any emergency changes require separate campus or district information.

About the Comal ISD 2026–2027 Academic Calendar calendar
Data source
The official academic PDF supplies first and last days, school hours, student/staff holidays, staff-development student holidays, elementary conference early release, all-student two-hour early release, grading boundaries and conditional weather dates. The district's Calendars page links both academic years and a separate assessment calendar.
How dates are handled
Each academic year is kept separate. Student holidays for staff development stay because they change student attendance; teacher-return and post-year teacher-work dates are excluded. Make-up dates remain conditional and outside confirmed no-school totals. The outlined conference clock applies only to elementary students; the red circled-star icon means two-hour student early release, not the solid STAAR star. No testing or graduation event is invented from a legend without a dated marker. No-school lists reference canonical event IDs.
Updates
The PDF footer prints a Board Approved date of January 22, 2026 and a Revised date of November 13, 2025. Comal ISD's January 23, 2026 announcement also says the Board approved both calendars during its January 22 meeting. The full calendar page and official downloads were checked October 4, 2026.
Disclaimer
Attendance, no-school totals and contiguous break lengths are derived. Early-release days are attendance dates, not full instructional days. Calculated dismissal times subtract two hours from printed regular hours and should be checked against campus instructions. Activated weather make-up dates can change the student-day total. Grading-period boundaries do not imply report-card distribution. Appointments, testing, ceremonies and any emergency changes require separate campus or district information.
