  • Students have five weekdays off at Thanksgiving and ten weekdays within the official winter break.
  • The January 3 planning day pushes the first day back after winter break to Tuesday, January 4.
  • February 22 is conditional and should not be treated as a guaranteed holiday when arranging travel or child care.
  • April 14 and 17 form a long weekend; April 28 is a separate Friday holiday later that month.

Editorial summary

Key family dates on the 2027-2028 NISD calendar

Students start Monday, August 9, 2027, and finish Wednesday, May 24, 2028. The short October fall break returns in 2027-2028. October 8 and 11 are student holidays for teacher exchange, and October 12 is a teacher planning day. Students have no classes October 8–12, including the weekend, and return October 13.

Thanksgiving Break runs November 22–26, and students return November 29. Winter Break is December 20–31. January 3 is a separate student holiday for teacher planning, so classes resume Tuesday, January 4. Spring Break runs March 6–10; the March 13 planning day means students return Tuesday, March 14.

The February 18 and 21 holidays give students a four-day weekend, but February 22 is a separate bad-weather make-up option. The PDF also labels it a student holiday/staff development day, so attendance can change if the make-up date is used. The academic PDF provides grading-period dates but no districtwide early-release, conference or report-card schedule. The official calendars page also links school-event calendars for participating campuses, along with separate athletics, fine arts and testing calendars.

Source and scope

About the Northside ISD 2027–2028 calendar

Data source

Dates come from Northside ISD's approved 2027-2028 Academic Calendar PDF, checked with the official calendars page on October 6, 2026. The PDF prints approval on 2025-12-10. The December 11, 2025 staff newsletter confirms the new short October fall break and both school-year boundaries. The December 2, 2025 Board Workshop Minutes document the committee's support for Fall Break and February Break.

How dates are handled

Canonical events keep each printed holiday or teacher-exchange date separate; weekend-connected no-school ranges appear only in the derived breaks and planning text. Events cover the first through last student day, including grading-period boundaries and the conditional February make-up date. Staff-only preparation and holidays outside the student year are excluded. Attendance flags describe the published baseline, not an unconditional promise that a make-up date cannot become a school day.

Updates

February 22 can change from a staff development/student holiday to an attendance day if bad weather requires make-up instruction. A later district PDF or alert takes priority over this record.
