Several long school break holiday stretches
Katy ISD families have a fall break to plan around in October 2026. Students and staff are off from October 9 through October 13, creating a five-day break that includes two weekends. This is a useful time for families to arrange travel or childcare before the busy holiday season.
Thanksgiving Break runs from November 23 through November 27. Later in the semester, December 18 is an early dismissal day and marks the end of the fall semester. Christmas Break begins on December 21 and continues through January 1, 2027. Students return for the spring semester on January 5, after a campus day with no students on January 4.
Several additional dates are worth noting when arranging childcare:
- September 18, October 23, and November 2 are campus professional learning days with no students.
- February 12 is another campus professional learning day, followed by Presidents Day on February 15.
- Spring Break runs from March 8 through March 12.
- March 26 through March 29 is another scheduled holiday period for students and staff.
- April 9 is a campus professional learning day with no students.
The final day of school is May 26, 2027, and students are dismissed early. Working parents may want to arrange childcare for the professional learning days as well as the early dismissal day, since these dates do not follow the regular student schedule.
