How to use the calendar
- Pick your school district. Seguin ISD, Navarro ISD, Marion ISD and Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD 2026–27 calendars are built in, along with New Braunfels ISD, Comal ISD and several San Antonio and Austin-area districts. For any other district, choose "My district isn't listed" and enter the first and last day of school and the break dates.
- Choose Standard or Expanded. Check your order. Expanded possession usually runs from school dismissal to school start, while standard possession usually runs from 6 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- Choose which parent is the possessory (non-primary) parent. Holidays alternate between even and odd years based on that.
- Print it, save it to your phone calendar (.ics), or copy a link to share with the other parent or your lawyer.
Who has which holiday in 2026–27
Texas standard orders alternate holidays between even and odd years. Fall 2026 is an even year, and spring 2027 is an odd year:
| Holiday | Who has it |
|---|---|
| Thanksgiving 2026 | Primary parent |
| Christmas 2026, first half (school dismissal to noon Dec. 28) | Non-primary parent |
| Christmas 2026, second half (noon Dec. 28 to the day before school resumes) | Primary parent |
| Spring break 2027 | Primary parent |
| Mother's Day weekend (May 7–9, 2027) | The mother |
| Father's Day weekend (June 18–20, 2027) | The father |
In 2027–28 the Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring break assignments flip. Your order controls, so if it says something different, follow your order.

From each district's published 2026–27 calendar, checked November 2026. Always confirm with your district. Districts sometimes change dates, for example to make up weather days. Navarro ISD has bad-weather make-up days on Feb. 12 and Mar. 29.
The basics of the Texas Standard Possession Order
- Weekends: the 1st, 3rd and 5th weekends of each month.
- Thursdays: during the school year. Under a standard order, 6 to 8 p.m. Under an expanded order, often overnight until school starts Friday.
- Summer: usually 30 days for the non-primary parent (42 days if the parents live more than 100 miles apart), with notice deadlines in the spring.
- Expanded by default: when parents live within 50 miles of each other, Texas courts generally use the Expanded Standard Possession Order unless the court finds otherwise or the parent elects standard times.
