November 2–3 are student holidays for teacher preparation and staff development, and November 11 is another student and staff holiday.

Thanksgiving holidays run November 23–27, with classes resuming Monday, November 30. The first semester ends December 18 with early dismissal. Students then have no classes from December 19 through January 5, including winter holidays and January 4–5 staff days. The second semester begins Wednesday, January 6.

About the Judson ISD 2026–2027 District Academic Calendar calendar

Data source

The current official Judson ISD district 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. The district footer 12.18.25 is not treated as the Board approval or a verified publication date. JECA attendance, NLC milestones and JECA early-release dates remain on their separate page.

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.

Disclaimer

This is an independent calendar reference, not a Judson ISD publication. Confirm schedule changes and campus-specific arrangements with the district or school.
