Editorial summary

Spring ISD's regular calendar: breaks, conferences and early release

Spring ISD's regular student year runs August 12, 2026-May 28, 2027. Fall Break covers October 12-16 and Thanksgiving Break covers November 23-27. November 2 is a teacher professional-development day with no students, followed by parent-teacher conferences on November 3. The next regular class date is November 4.

Winter Break is December 21-January 1, followed by another no-student professional-development day on January 4. The second semester begins January 5. Mid-Winter Break runs February 15-19. February 15 may be used as a make-up day, so it is not a guaranteed day off. Selected students have intervention on February 16 and 17, and February 19 is marked for parent-teacher conferences. Spring Break is March 15-19; March 26 is a separate Spring Holiday.

December 18 and May 28 are early-release days for all regular-calendar school levels. December 17 and May 27 are early-release days for high schools only. Elementary students dismiss at 12:55 p.m., middle school students at 1:55 p.m. and high school students at noon on their applicable early-release dates.

December 18, 2026, and May 28, 2027, are early-release half days for all school levels. December 17 and May 27 are marked HS ONLY. Elementary and middle school students should not use the high-school-only dates as their own dismissal changes.

When are parent-teacher conferences on the Spring ISD calendar?

The regular calendar lists November 3, 2026, and February 19, 2027, for parent-teacher conferences with no students. February 19 is already inside Mid-Winter Break, not an extra break date. Conference appointment times are not provided; arrange them through your child's teacher.

November 2 and January 4 are standalone staff-development days with no students. February 16-18 are also staff-development dates inside Mid-Winter Break; selected-student intervention overlaps February 16-17. November 3 and February 19 are conference dates rather than ordinary classes.

The four grading periods are August 12-October 2, October 5-December 18, January 5-March 5 and March 8-May 28. March 8 starts the fourth period before the March 15-19 Spring Break; a grading-period boundary is not a report-card distribution date.

When are STAAR/EOC testing dates marked?

The calendar marks December 7-11 and 14-18, then April 6-9, 12-16, 19-23 and 26-29 for STAAR/EOC testing. These are marked testing dates, not a daily test requirement for every student. Use your campus's grade and subject assignments.

First-bell transition periods begin ten minutes earlier. Momentum High School families are directed to contact the school for program-specific hours.

Does Spring Early College Academy follow every date here?

The PDF says Spring Early College Academy may have calendar adjustments to accommodate Lone Star College class schedules. Use this district calendar as a reference, but check the academy's notices before relying on a date that affects your student's classes.

Does the regular calendar include summer school dates?

The PDF separately lists June 8-July 1 for Pre-K-K EB students and June 8-July 9 as Tentative Summer School. These are program date spans, not a published daily attendance schedule or a requirement for every student. Check campus notices for participation and actual session dates.

Where can I download the official Spring ISD calendar?

Use the Instructional Calendar PDF linked here or the district's Printable Calendars page. ACE and ADSY are separate downloads for named campuses; choose the document that matches your child's school.
