Comal ISD Calendar 2026-27: Winter Break Dec. 21-Jan. 1, Back Jan. 5

Comal Independent School District (ISD) lists Nov. 23-27, 2026 as the Thanksgiving student and staff holiday and Dec. 21, 2026 to Jan. 1, 2027 as the holiday break, according to its Academic Calendar 2026 - 2027. The PDF’s footer reads “Board Approved: January 22,2026 Revised: November 13, 2025.” Spring break is March 8-12, 2027, and the last day of school is Thursday, May 27, 2027.

The dates below come from the district’s PDF, which its calendars page links; both were read Nov. 13, 2026. Weekdays and return days are our calendar check. The district serves New Braunfels, Texas, and is a different district from New Braunfels ISD.

When is Comal ISD’s winter break in 2026?

The calendar lists a Holiday Break from Monday, Dec. 21, 2026 to Friday, Jan. 1, 2027, marked as a student and staff holiday. That is ten weekdays.

Monday, Jan. 4 is listed as “Student Holiday/Staff Development,” so students return Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2027. That follows from the calendar entries; the PDF does not print a separate “classes resume” line.

Which Comal ISD days are off for students?

Every holiday and staff development day in the PDF, with weekdays. Entries before Nov. 13 are past.

The calendar lists no Veterans Day closure, so Nov. 11 is a school day by our reading. Oct. 21 and 22 are Parent/Teacher Conference days with early release for elementary schools only. The district would announce any use of the two bad weather make-up days; the calendar labels them as holidays.
