Mansfield ISD School Calendar 2026-2027

Mansfield ISD students start school Wednesday, August 12, 2026. The first six-week grading period begins that day.

The last student day is Thursday, May 20, 2027. It also ends the sixth grading period. May 21 is a teacher workday.

No. The official 2026-2027 Student & Teacher Calendar lists May 20 as the last day of school and May 21 as a teacher workday. May 21 falls after the student school year.

Based on the published schedule as issued, Mansfield ISD has 170 regular student attendance weekdays. February 12 and March 26 are reserved makeup days and are not part of that baseline count unless activated. The district calendar does not publish an annual attendance-day total.

Students have a four-day break October 9-12, 2026: October 9 is a parent-teacher conference student holiday, and October 12 is Columbus Day. Classes resume Tuesday, October 13. The district calendar does not name this Fall Break.

Thanksgiving Break runs November 23-27, 2026. Students return Monday, November 30. November 23 is also an SDCE student holiday within the break.

The official Winter Holiday runs December 21, 2026-January 1, 2027. Students are also off December 18 and January 4-6 for professional learning and workdays. Together with weekends, those dates create a calculated 20-day stretch without classes, December 18-January 6.

Students return Thursday, January 7, 2027, the official start of the second semester and fourth grading period. January 4-6 are still student holidays even though the named Winter Holiday ends January 1.

Spring Break runs March 15-19, 2027. Students return Monday, March 22.

Yes. Friday, October 9, 2026, is a Parent/Teacher Conference & Student Holiday. The district calendar does not list conference times or appointment details; check your campus for scheduling information.

During the regular student year, the fixed professional-learning/workday holidays are September 18 and December 18, 2026, and January 4-6, 2027. March 26 is also marked as a professional-learning/workday student holiday, but it may be used for weather make-up instruction. October 9 is a separate conference holiday.

February 12, 2027, is make-up day #1, and March 26 is make-up day #2. Both are otherwise student holidays. The district's weather procedures say reserved days are used to make up school missed because of weather, so check district announcements before planning either as a guaranteed day off.

February 12 is currently listed as a student and teacher holiday, but it is also bad-weather make-up day #1. If it is used for make-up instruction, students attend. February 15 remains a separate student and teacher holiday.

March 26 is listed as a student holiday, but it is also bad-weather make-up day #2. The PDF does not call it a Good Friday holiday. Student attendance depends on whether the district activates the make-up date.

No. Monday, February 15, 2027, is a Student & Teacher Holiday. Mansfield ISD uses that general label rather than naming Presidents Day.

No. Monday, January 18, 2027, is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a student and teacher holiday.

Yes. Monday, September 7, 2026, is the Labor Day student and teacher holiday. With the preceding weekend, it gives students a three-day break.

SDCE stands for Staff Development Credit Equivalency, which professional employees may earn through approved professional development. For students, November 23, 2026, and March 15, 2027, are no-school days. Both already fall within Thanksgiving Break or Spring Break, so they do not create additional days off outside those breaks.

The six periods are August 12-September 17, September 21-October 30, November 2-December 17, January 7-February 11, February 16-April 2 and April 5-May 20. These are grading-period ranges, not report-card delivery dates.

The 2026-2027 school calendar does not identify any specific early-release dates. Mansfield ISD publishes early-release bell times by school level on its Bell Schedules page.

The official school calendars list six grading periods but do not give report-card distribution dates. Check your school's grade-reporting instructions for when reports are available; a grading-period end date does not necessarily mean grades or report cards are released that day.

No. Mansfield ISD publishes the A/B day calendar for high school schedules. Elementary, intermediate and middle school families should follow their campus calendar and bell schedule.

Mansfield ISD publishes its high school A/B day calendar on the district Calendars page and under High Schools on the Bell Schedules page. The PDF shows student holidays, semester dates and daily A/B assignments.

On the high school A/B calendar, yellow date cells are A days, and light-gray date cells are B days. Other legend colors identify holidays, professional days and conferences. Follow the letter printed for each date.

For high school students following the A/B calendar, Wednesday, August 12, 2026, is an A day, and Thursday, August 13, is a B day.

No. The district's inclement-weather procedures say the high school A/B block schedule is not changed when weather cancels a day. Students return to the letter already printed for the next school day; a missed A or B day is made up later.

MISD uses mass email and text alerts, its homepage, the ParentSquare app, social media and local news outlets. The district says contact information must be current in Skyward to receive alerts. Automated phone calls may not be used in every situation.
