Editorial summary
The regular Pflugerville ISD school year runs from Wednesday, August 12, 2026, through Thursday, May 27, 2027. The Board approved the calendar on December 11, 2025, following a district-record 4,382 survey responses. The adopted schedule includes an extended October Fall Break and no early-release days. December 18 and May 27 are full school days.
Fall Break runs October 12–16, and students are also off Friday, October 9, for staff planning and prep. That gives families 10 consecutive days without regular classes, with students returning Monday, October 19. PfISD’s Extended Day Program scheduled October Break Camp for October 12–16. Timmerman Elementary was listed as open to all families, while the Ruth Barron Elementary location was limited to Raising Travis County Families. The published camp dates do not include October 9.
Winter Break runs December 21–31. Students are also off January 1 and Monday, January 4, when staff have a planning day. Classes resume Tuesday, January 5. Including weekends, the break from regular classes lasts 17 consecutive days, December 19 through January 4.
Students have a four-day weekend February 12–15, with staff development on Friday and planning and prep on Monday. Spring Break is listed as March 15–20 on the district calendar, with five school weekdays off from March 15–19. Classes resume Monday, March 22.
January 18 and March 26 are scheduled student/staff holidays, but they may become school days if weather closures require make-up time. January 18 is the first reserved date, followed by March 26. If more than two school days are canceled, PfISD may add days to the end of the school year or follow directives from the Texas Education Agency. Check PfISD announcements if weather affects the schedule.
Dessau and Timmerman elementary schools have separate Additional Days School Year (ADSY) calendars. Both begin classes August 4, hold Meet the Teacher on July 31 and have an early-release day August 7, with dismissal at 11:30 a.m. Their additional-days schedules include August 4–7 and August 10–11. Families should use their campus calendar for attendance and pickup arrangements.
Common questions
Regular-calendar students start Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Dessau and Timmerman elementary schools have separate ACE additional-days calendars; families at those campuses should use their school’s calendar.
Thursday, May 27, 2027, is the last day for students on the regular calendar. It is a full school day. May 28 is a teacher workday, not an additional student day.
Both ACE campuses start Tuesday, August 4, 2026, rather than August 12 on the regular calendar. Their campus calendars list August 4–7 and August 10–11 as Additional Days School Year (ADSY) dates. August 7 is an early-release day, with dismissal at 11:30 a.m. Check your campus calendar for the full schedule.
Meet the Teacher is Monday, August 10, on the regular calendar. Dessau and Timmerman ACE calendars list it on Friday, July 31. Check your campus for the event time and location.
No. Monday, September 7, 2026, is a student/staff holiday on the regular calendar. Classes resume Tuesday, September 8.
Fall Break is October 12-16, 2026. Friday, October 9, is a separate student holiday for staff planning and prep, so students are already off before the named break begins.
No. Friday, October 9, is a student holiday while staff have planning and prep time. It comes before the October 12–16 Fall Break. The next regular school day is Monday, October 19.
Students have 10 consecutive days without regular classes, October 9-18. That includes the October 9 staff workday, the five weekdays of Fall Break and both weekends. Classes resume Monday, October 19.
PfISD’s Extended Day Program scheduled October Break Camp for October 12–16, 2026. Timmerman Elementary was listed as open to all families, while Ruth Barron Elementary was limited to Raising Travis County Families. The published registration deadline was September 25, 2026.
The Extended Day Program listed a PfISD family rate of $40 per day or $185 for all five days per camper, plus a $35 per-family registration fee. The published standard rate was $70 per day or $350 for five days. Children had to be at least four years old by September 1, 2026.
The official October Break Camp listing covers October 12–16, not Friday, October 9. October 9 is a separate student holiday for staff planning and prep. The camp listing does not establish whether other childcare is available that day; contact the Extended Day Program to check.
Yes, under the published regular calendar. Tuesday, November 3, is not listed as a student holiday. Check district or campus announcements for any changes.
November 11 is not marked as a holiday on the regular calendar. Students should plan to attend school unless their campus or the district announces a change.
Thanksgiving Break runs Monday, November 23, through Friday, November 27. With the weekends on either side, students have nine consecutive days off, November 21-29.
Regular-calendar classes resume Monday, November 30, 2026. Friday, November 20, is the last school day before the break.
The named Winter Break runs December 21-31, 2026. January 1 is a separate student/staff holiday, and January 4 is a student holiday for staff planning and prep. Students return January 5.
Students on the regular calendar have 17 consecutive days without classes, December 19, 2026, through January 4, 2027. That includes weekends, Winter Break, the January 1 holiday and the January 4 staff workday.
Students return Tuesday, January 5, 2027, when the third nine-week grading period begins. Monday, January 4, is a student holiday for staff planning and prep.
January 18, 2027, is scheduled as a student/staff holiday, but it is also the first date reserved for weather make-up classes. Students may need to attend if the district activates it. Check the district’s announcement before treating it as a guaranteed day off.
January 18 is the first date the district will use if weather make-up days are needed; March 26 is the second. Both are holidays on the published schedule and may become attendance days.
Yes. PfISD’s weather policy says that if school is canceled for more than two days, the district will add days at the end of the school year or follow Texas Education Agency directions. May 27 remains the published last student day; watch for a district announcement if closures require changes.
No. Monday, February 15, is a student holiday for staff planning and prep. Students are also off Friday, February 12, for staff development, making a four-day weekend. Classes resume Tuesday, February 16.
PfISD Spring Break is March 15–20, 2027, as listed on the regular calendar. The five school weekdays off are March 15–19. Classes resume Monday, March 22.
Students return Monday, March 22, 2027, when the fourth nine-week grading period begins. The last school day before Spring Break is Friday, March 12.
Regular-calendar students have nine consecutive days without classes, March 13–21, 2027, including both weekends. The five school weekdays off are March 15–19.
Friday, March 26, 2027, is scheduled as a student/staff holiday, but it is also the second reserved weather make-up day. Attendance depends on whether the district needs to use it.
Monday, March 29, 2027, is not marked as a student holiday on the regular calendar. Plan for classes unless the district announces a change. The preceding Friday, March 26, has its own conditional weather make-up designation.
No early-release days are scheduled on the regular student calendar. December 18 and May 27 are full school days. Dessau and Timmerman use separate ACE calendars with an August 7 early-release day.
Yes. Both official ACE campus calendars list Friday, August 7, as an early-release day, with a 7:25–11:30 a.m. schedule. Plan for 11:30 a.m. dismissal and confirm pickup arrangements with your campus. This date does not apply to students on the regular calendar, whose classes begin August 12.
PfISD lists regular elementary hours as 7:35 a.m.–2:50 p.m., middle school hours as 8:20 a.m.–3:35 p.m., and high school hours as 9:00 a.m.–4:15 p.m. Check your campus for any school-specific arrangements.
The calendar brackets show August 12-October 8 and October 19-December 18, 2026, followed by January 5-March 12 and March 22-May 27, 2027. Student holidays and breaks within those periods still apply.
Friday, December 18, 2026, is the last regular school day before winter holidays. It is a full school day. Students return Tuesday, January 5, 2027.
Based on the published dates, the regular calendar has 175 planned student attendance days. This is a calculated figure, not an official annual total printed on the district PDF. Weather closures and make-up decisions may change which dates students attend. Dessau and Timmerman follow separate ACE calendars.
Yes. The PfISD Board of Trustees approved the 2026–27 academic calendar on December 11, 2025. The regular calendar includes an extended October Fall Break and no scheduled early-release days.
Use the official PDF link on this page or the district’s PfISD Calendar page. The district also provides a text-based version and separate ACE calendars for Dessau and Timmerman elementary schools.
Yes. The district’s Calendar page links Spanish and Vietnamese versions of the approved regular 2026-2027 calendar alongside the English PDF and text-based version. Dessau and Timmerman families should use their separate ACE campus calendars.
PfISD posts changes on district and campus websites and official social-media accounts, and sends texts, emails and automated calls. The district aims to decide by 5:30 a.m. and begin notifications by 6 a.m., though it may announce a decision the night before. Keep your contact details current. PfISD does not send a notice when the school day is unchanged.
No. PfISD’s general weather policy says morning Pre-K will not be offered when school starts late because of weather. Check district and campus announcements for other schedule changes.
Reference
Source and scope
The official 2026-2027 Student School Calendar is a one-page color PDF. The district also links a matching text version, school hours and separate ACE additional-days calendars for Dessau and Timmerman elementary schools. The current graphic PDF was downloaded and its SHA-256 matches the supplied local file.
Events retain official date-list boundaries. Grading starts and ends come from the brackets in the monthly grid; semester classifications follow those grading boundaries and are derived. Winter Break ends December 31; January 1 and January 4 remain separate events. Spring Break retains the printed March 15-20 range, with five weekdays off. Longer planning spans are derived only from confirmed contiguous closures and weekends. January 18 and March 26 retain both holiday and conditional weather-day meanings and are excluded from confirmed closures. The calculated student-day baseline is not a printed official total. Employee orientation, summer staff holidays, pre-opening preparation and May 28 teacher work are excluded. Meet the Teacher remains a family-facing pre-opening event. Extracted graphic-PDF text contains an invisible April 3 holiday line; the rendered page, April grid and official text calendar do not list an April student holiday, so no April event is inferred. No report-card or UIL dates are copied into the PDF-based event list from separate schedules. SEMESTER_END is a derived instructional-boundary classification, not a grade-entry, report-publication or UIL deadline. The Athletics table lists December 18 under 9 Weeks Ends while its second-period row label runs through January 4; those administrative labels do not add student classes on January 4. Familiar holiday display names are derived; officialLabel preserves the calendar’s wording. A weather make-up day may replace a canceled attendance day, so activating it does not by itself establish an increase in the final annual total. The December 2025 approval news says all schools share opening dates, but the current campus-specific ACE PDFs take precedence for Dessau and Timmerman.
The district administration archive reports Board approval on December 11, 2025, with the October Fall Break and removal of early-release days shaped by community feedback. The graphic PDF prints no publication or revision date; its file metadata is not treated as an official publication date. The calendar page, current PDF, text version, school hours and related official guidance were checked October 15, 2026. Use the district’s latest calendar and weather announcements for subsequent changes. The December 12, 2025 approval news and both ACE PDFs were also checked during this review. The campus PDFs confirm August 4 openings, July 31 Meet the Teacher and the August 7 early-release schedule; those campus events are not added to the regular-calendar event list.
This independent reference covers the regular student calendar and is not a Pflugerville ISD website. Dessau and Timmerman ACE calendars are outside its attendance totals. Confirm campus-specific schedules, camp arrangements and weather make-up attendance with the district or your school.
