Aubrey ISD adopts new calendar

The Aubrey ISD school board approved a new 2026-27 academic calendar at the Feb. 18 school board meeting.

Included in the adopted calendar, which has school starting on Aug. 12 and ending May 27, are several breaks of varying lengths throughout the year, such as an extended Thanksgiving break in November.

“Overwhelmingly the big things we heard from the staff committee were the days around the winter holidays were amazing. It allowed them to wrap up business, go have winter holidays, and perhaps not grade and plan during the winter holidays because they got the day coming back,” Assistant Superintendent Daniel Barrentine said.
