Source and scope
About the Corpus Christi ISD 2026–2027 Updated school calendar calendar
Data source
Student dates and grading-period boundaries come from the two-page MS UPDATE calendar currently linked on Corpus Christi ISD's homepage. The April 14, 2026, district announcement confirms February 12 is a school day. The July 22 bell announcement supplies opening school hours, including the Metro Prep exception; the September 3 update restores middle-school hours to 8:50 a.m.-4:10 p.m. effective September 21.
How dates are handled
Official holidays, student holidays and intersession are separate events. Combined planning windows belong in breaks and key dates retain the official event ranges. The October intersession is not a district-designated Fall Break and is not included in confirmed noSchoolDayEventIds. Its special-schedule status is a derived classification of the separate Intersession range, not an official assertion that attendance varies by school. The calendar does not define participation or assignment rules. There are 29 confirmed districtwide weekdays without regular classes and five additional weekdays without regular classes during intersession. The annual 175-day value is derived by adding the official 82 and 93 semester subtotals printed under Total Instructional Days; a regular-weekday calculation independently gives the same result. The fourth grading period spans January 6-February 19: its weekday count is 31 after excluding January 18 and February 15 and including February 12. The current PDF first page prints 31 while page two prints 30; this internal discrepancy is recorded here rather than in the student event note. The older four-page NEW.pdf prints 30 for the fourth period and 92 for the second semester; it is not the current homepage-linked MS UPDATE PDF. Both pages of the current PDF print middle-school hours of 8:50 a.m.-4:10 p.m. The July 22 announcement introduced an earlier opening schedule for most middle schools. On September 3, the district announced a return to 8:50 a.m.-4:10 p.m. starting September 21. For current middle-school hours, the September update takes precedence over the July announcement; the PDF now matches the restored schedule. Metro Prep retained high-school hours throughout. School-hours rows show only current schedules. The replaced opening hours are retained in non-display discovery notes. The September announcement specifies a start date but no expiration; effectiveThrough is null. The October planning window has no schoolWeekdaysOff count because intersession attendance is not defined districtwide. Employee-only dates outside the student year and Memorial Day after May 28 are excluded.
Updates
The homepage, current PDF, April 14 calendar update, July 22 bell announcement, September 3 middle-school update and district News listing were checked October 4, 2026.

No calendar approval or printed revision date is supplied; file metadata is not used as a publication date. The fourth-period PDF summary remains internally inconsistent. Middle-school hours changed during the year; the PDF matches the schedule restored September 21.
