School schedules
Editorial summary
PSJA ISD’s regular 2026-2027 school year begins Monday, August 24, and ends Wednesday, June 2. The district calendar lists 175 instructional days across six reporting periods. Regular student hours are 8:15 a.m.–3:55 p.m. for elementary schools, 7:45 a.m.–3:25 p.m. for middle schools, and 8:40 a.m.–4:20 p.m. for high schools.
Thanksgiving Break is Nov. 23–27 and Spring Break is March 15–19. The district lists Winter Break as Dec. 21–Jan. 1, but students are also off for staff development on Dec. 18 and Jan. 4–5. So students are off continuously from Dec. 18 through Jan. 5 and return Jan. 6.
Feb. 15 is listed as a Non-School Day and March 26 as Easter Break; both dates also appear under Weather Days. If weather disrupts the school year, families should check district updates before making plans for either date. The calendar also marks enrichment and state-testing dates, but it does not specify grade or subject assignments for the testing dates.
PSJA ISD also schedules enrichment beyond regular instructional days. For the Aug. 3–7 and Aug. 10–14, 2026 camps, the district says the program is free and open to all PSJA ISD students, with transportation, breakfast and lunch provided. The academic calendar marks additional enrichment dates in 2027 but does not publish participation details for those sessions.

Source and scope
Dates come from PSJA ISD's official 2026-2027 School Year Academic Calendar and the district calendar page, checked October 6, 2026. The Summer Opportunities page and May 28, 2026 summer enrichment announcement separately describe the two August 2026 weekday camp sessions.
The image-based PDF was rendered to check its legend, month grids, reporting periods, bell schedule and event lists. Canonical events keep Winter Break separate from staff-development dates; the continuous winter student no-school stretch appears in breaks. Enrichment and testing ranges include only marked weekday blocks. February 15 and March 26 retain both their published no-school labels and their Weather Days classification; no make-up activation mechanism is inferred. Exempt Fundraiser Days are omitted because this reference focuses on student schedules and family planning.
February 15 and March 26 also appear in the Weather Days list. Check district updates if weather affects the published schedule. Enrichment and testing markers do not establish individual student assignments. The academic calendar does not publish graduation ceremony dates or districtwide early-release dates.
