  • The December 18 teacher workday and January 4 staff development day extend the practical winter no-school period beyond the dates labeled Winter Break.
  • February 12 and February 15 form another Friday-through-Monday student break, although the two weekdays have different official labels.
  • March 10 is a standalone student holiday before Spring Break begins March 15; it should not be treated as part of the five-day break.

About the Round Rock ISD 2026–2027 District calendar calendar

Data source

This page uses Round Rock ISD’s 2026-2027 District Calendar, updated February 4, 2026, together with the district’s official calendars page. The English calendar, legend, detailed date list, school hours, and instructional-day note were cross-checked.

How dates are handled

Events retain separately listed official occurrences; continuous family-planning no-school periods are stored in breaks, not as replacement events. Official means a directly printed date, label or range, including a boundary explicitly marked on the calendar grid. Derived includes normalized names, internal event classifications, attendance-status mappings, editorial notes and relationships between dates. Grid legends are not event-specific official labels. Staff preparation before the first day and staff-only dates after the last student day are excluded. Same-date milestones are grouped in the page table. The 2026-2027 English PDF lists January 1 separately as New Year’s Day, while the Spanish page calls it a winter holiday; both confirm the same closure. Those source labels are preserved without extending the English Winter Break event.

Updates

The official calendar page is monitored for revised PDFs and future years. Empty 2028-2029 and 2029-2030 routes are not created without district files.
