Dear Crandall ISD Families,

We are writing to share an important update regarding school start and end times for the 2026–2027 school year.

After a thoughtful and comprehensive review process, Crandall ISD has approved updated start times for next school year. This process considered many factors, including transportation logistics, instructional time, campus operations, student well-being, and family impact. It also included input from multiple stakeholder groups and feedback gathered through a parent and staff survey conducted earlier this year. We appreciate everyone who took the time to share their perspective.

The new school start and end times for the 2026–2027 school year are as follows:

Elementary Schools
School Day: 7:55 a.m. – 3:40 p.m.
Early Release: 12:05 p.m.

Middle Schools
School Day: 7:20 a.m. – 3:05 p.m.
Early Release: 11:30 a.m.

High School
School Day: 8:25 a.m. – 4:10 p.m.
Early Release: 12:35 p.m.

These changes will go into effect at the start of the 2026–2027 school year, allowing families time to plan ahead for schedules, transportation, and childcare needs.

We recognize that adjustments to start times can impact families in different ways, and we are committed to supporting a smooth transition. Additional details and reminders will be shared as we approach the new school year.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for being an engaged part of our Crandall ISD community.

Sincerely,
Crandall ISD
