Editorial summary

JECA Holidays, NLC Courses and Early Dismissal

Judson Early College Academy (JECA) follows its own academic calendar rather than the general Judson ISD schedule. Classes begin Wednesday, August 12, 2026, and finish Wednesday, May 26, 2027. The regular school day runs from 8 a.m. to 3:40 p.m., with dismissal at 1 p.m. on scheduled early-release days.

JECA’s student holidays do not always line up with the rest of Judson ISD. For example, JECA is open October 12, November 2–3 and November 11, 2026, and March 29, 2027, when district-calendar schools are closed. JECA has separate no-class Fridays on September 25, October 23 and November 6, 13 and 20, plus an April 9 holiday. Use the Academy’s calendar when planning attendance or transportation.

Northeast Lakeview College (NLC) follows a separate course schedule. Fall college classes begin August 24, 2026, and spring classes begin January 19, 2027. NLC finals are listed for December 7–11 and May 10–14, but students should follow their individual course schedules. On November 23–25, JECA has no regular classes while NLC remains in session. November 26–27 are holidays, and JECA classes resume November 30.

JECA’s last class day before winter break is December 17. December 18 is a teacher-preparation day, followed by winter holidays and January 4–5 staff days, leaving students without JECA classes through January 5. Classes resume January 6, with early dismissal on both January 6 and 7. Spring Break runs March 8–12; students return March 15, and the third grading period ends March 19.

JECA has seven early-release dates: August 12–13, January 6–7 and May 24–26, all with dismissal at 1 p.m. February 5 and April 2 are teacher-preparation days scheduled without student classes but may be used for weather make-up instruction. February 12 is a separate teacher-flex day with no JECA classes.

About the Judson ISD 2026–2027 Judson Early College Academy (JECA) calendar

Data source

The current official JECA 2026–2027 Academic Calendar PDF was checked October 29, 2026, against the supplied local file; the files are byte-identical. Both calendars print Board Approved: 06.25.2026. The 4.23.26 text in the local filenames is not used as the approval date.

How dates are handled

All colored weekdays were checked against the legend. Grading brackets mark academic boundaries, not early release. School-board meetings, pre-year employee preparation and post-year staff workdays or holidays are excluded. Contiguous holiday ranges include only colored holiday weekdays and intervening weekends. Official grading-period and semester boundaries are retained. Spring Break is the March 8–12 holiday block; the third grading period ends March 19, after classes resume March 15. February and April plus-marked teacher-preparation days are conditional make-up dates outside confirmed closure counts. Any annual class-day figure is calculated from the grid, not an annual total printed in the PDF. November 23–25 means no JECA classes while NLC remains in session; it is not a complete holiday from college coursework. NLC starts and finals windows carry no inference that JECA is closed or every student tests on every date. The district-event feed embedded on the JECA homepage contains general-calendar entries; it is not treated as a JECA calendar revision. Only the JECA high-school hours in this PDF apply to this page; the copied elementary and middle-school rows do not.

Updates

Check Judson ISD’s official calendars and school communications for revisions, weather make-up decisions and campus arrangements. No 2027 graduation date is inferred from older ceremony listings.
