Editorial summary

What CFISD families should know for 2026-2027

For students, CFISD's 2026-2027 school year runs from Wednesday, August 12, to Thursday, May 27. The calendar includes five-day fall, Thanksgiving and spring breaks, plus a longer winter break from December 21 through January 1. January 4 is a professional day and student holiday, so classes resume Tuesday, January 5.

Other districtwide no-class dates include Labor Day on September 7, Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 18, professional days on January 4, February 15, and April 26, and a separate student/staff holiday on March 26.

Unlike ordinary student holidays, October 9, November 3, and March 12 are also reserved as school-closure make-up days. Under the published schedule, students are off on all three dates; October 9 and March 12 are also designated as inclement-weather make-up days. Families should recheck CFISD notices before relying on these dates for travel or child care.

Source and scope

About the CFISD 2026–2027 calendar

Data source

This page is based on Cypress-Fairbanks ISD's one-page 2026-2027 District Calendar PDF, the district calendar page, and the Board's calendar-approval announcement, checked through October 4, 2026. Together they provide the student-year boundaries, official break names, professional days, conditional make-up dates, and grading periods.

How dates are handled

The PDF legend and Important Dates column were read with the Board announcement. Student-facing closures during the regular year are included, while August professional days before the first student day and the May 28 professional day after the last student day are omitted. Conditional make-up dates are treated as no-school dates under the published calendar but may become attendance days if CFISD activates them.

Updates

CFISD may activate a reserved make-up date after a weather or school closure, or issue a revised PDF. Recheck the official calendar page and district announcements before relying on October 9, November 3, or March 12 for travel or child care.
