Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Calendar 2026-2027
Cypress-Fairbanks ISD serves Northwest Harris County and the Houston metro. The third-largest school district in Texas. Below are the 2026-2027 first day, last day and break dates exactly as published on the district's own calendar.
Cypress-Fairbanks takes a full week of fall break in October — October 12-16, 2026 — which the statewide Texas window does not show at all. It also takes spring break March 15-19, a full week later than neighbouring Houston ISD, so two Houston-metro districts are out on different weeks. Check which district your school belongs to before booking.
