District Calendars

Midlothian ISD Learning Calendars

The MISD Learning Calendar incorporates professional learning days spread throughout the year that will provide teachers with additional time for professional learning, lesson planning and classroom preparation.

The days, color-coded as pink on the calendar, are student holidays. Intentionally carving out additional professional learning time in the calendar is meant to support rigor in the curriculum and student success. Students will still attend the same number of academic minutes as they have in previous school years.

2026-27 Learning Calendar

The Midlothian ISD Board of Trustees approved the 2026-27 Learning Calendar at its February 17, 2026 meeting. The adopted calendar includes six "Pink Days" designated as professional learning and planning days for staff and student holidays. The calendar also meets the state's requirement to provide a minimum of 75,600 instructional minutes and 187 teacher contract days.

Attendance Matters - Planning Vacations

In Midlothian ISD, we believe Attendance Matters - every day, all day, because we know regular attendance is vital to student success. Consistent attendance gives students more opportunities to learn, connect with classmates and teachers, and stay on track for success.

We know families also need time to travel, celebrate and make memories together. The key is planning ahead! Before scheduling a family trip, check the MISD calendar and use our Vacation Planning guide to identify district-designated long weekends, holidays and student breaks.
