Calendars approved for 2024-2025, 2025-2026

Following community input and school board approval, Northwest ISD’s instructional calendars for the next two academic years – 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 – are now set and will mirror the current district calendar.

Based on previous feedback, both calendars emulate the 2023-2024 calendar, with important dates consistent to the current calendar, changing simply based on how dates fall based on the change in year. In each calendar, the school year’s start date would remain on the Wednesday of the third week in August, for example.

Northwest ISD approves calendars for two school years based on prior feedback from families that the two-year approval process provided advance notice to help plan vacations around school and work commitments. Both calendars feature major breaks – Thanksgiving, winter and spring – that are in line with NISD’s traditional length and style. This includes multiple additional days off for students following the week immediately after winter break and the week immediately after spring break to assist with teacher preparation.

In 2024-2025, school will start for students on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, and conclude on Friday, May 23, 2025. In 2025-2026, school will start for students on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, and conclude on Friday, May 22, 2026.
