Comal ISD 2027–2028 Academic Calendar calendar notes

School calendar overview

The 2027–2028 Academic Calendar school calendar begins Aug 24, 2027 and ends May 25, 2028.

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. Fair Day remains unresolved: the grid highlights September 24 while the caption lists September 25. The disputed date is excluded from confirmed no-school totals until Comal ISD clarifies it.

Major school breaks

Thanksgiving holidayNov 22 – 26, 2027
Winter student no-school periodDec 18, 2027 – Jan 3, 2028

Longest listed break: 17 consecutive days; Calculated from official datesDec 18, 2027–Jan 3, 2028, including weekends. The stretch contains 11 confirmed no-school weekdays.
Long weekends: 6; Calculated from official datesCounts three- or four-day no-school stretches formed by a weekend plus one or two confirmed weekday closures. Longer school breaks are excluded.
Full-week breaks: 3 breaks; Calculated from official datesCounts continuous no-school stretches containing at least five confirmed weekdays without regular classes. Adjacent holidays and weekends remain part of the same break.

What to know

Four staff-development student holidays are separate from the official multi-day breaks.
The October conferences have two-hour early release for elementary students; middle and high school days are not shortened by these entries.
The December Holiday Break and the January staff-development holiday form 17 consecutive days without classes, including weekends.
The two weather make-up dates are conditional and do not form a continuous holiday range.
The September grid and Fair Day caption disagree, so families should confirm the September 24 schedule with Comal ISD.

Editorial summary

Comal ISD's 2027-2028 early release, holidays and dates to confirm

Comal ISD students begin Tuesday, August 24, 2027, and finish Thursday, May 25, 2028. The district PDF has a Fair Day conflict: the September calendar grid marks Friday, September 24 as a holiday, while the caption lists September 25. Families should confirm the Friday schedule with Comal ISD before making plans around Fair Day.

Elementary parent-teacher conferences are October 20 and 21, with two-hour early release for elementary students only. Middle and high school students are not included in that shortened conference schedule. All students have two-hour early release on December 17 and May 25.

Thanksgiving break runs November 22-26. Holiday Break is December 20-31, followed by staff development on January 3; students return January 4. Spring Break runs March 6-10. Good Friday is April 14, while April 17 and April 28 are reserved bad-weather make-up days that may become school days if needed.

What time do Comal ISD students leave school on two-hour early-release days?

Subtracting two hours from the PDF's regular dismissal times gives 1:10 p.m. for elementary, 1:50 p.m. for middle school and 2:30 p.m. for high school. These times are calculated, not printed as a dismissal table. October conference early release applies only to elementary students; confirm campus pickup instructions.

When are Comal ISD elementary parent-teacher conferences?

The elementary conference dates are October 20 and October 21, 2027, with two-hour early release. The academic PDF does not provide individual appointment times or a separate middle/high-school conference schedule.

The PDF lists elementary hours as 7:35 a.m.-3:10 p.m., middle school as 8:15 a.m.-3:50 p.m., and high school as 8:55 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Use the separate two-hour early-release arrangements on marked dates.

August 24-October 15; October 18-December 17; January 4-March 3; and March 13-May 25. The academic calendar lists grading-period boundaries but not report-card or progress-report distribution dates.

When are Comal ISD STAAR testing dates in 2027-2028?

The 2027-2028 academic calendar does not list specific STAAR testing dates. Comal ISD maintains a separate Assessment Calendars page; check that page for the latest testing schedule as dates are published.

Are Comal ISD early-release dates the same for elementary, middle and high schools?

Source and scope

About the Comal ISD 2027–2028 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, 2025 and a Revised date of November 13, 2025. Comal ISD's January 23, 2026 announcement says the Board approved both calendars during its January 22, 2026 meeting, so both approval dates are retained as a source conflict. The full calendar page and official downloads were checked October 4, 2026; the September Fair Day discrepancy also remains unresolved.
