Building Momentum for Student Success
As we move into February, I want to take a moment to thank our students, staff, families, and community for the continued support and teamwork that make Johnson City ISD such a special place. The spring semester is off to a strong start, and it is inspiring to see the dedication and perseverance demonstrated across all campuses.
This time of year brings renewed focus and momentum. Our classrooms are filled with meaningful learning, our extracurricular programs continue to represent our district with pride, and our staff remains committed to creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments for every student. I am especially grateful for the flexibility and cooperation shown during recent weather challenges and schedule adjustments. Your patience and understanding truly reflect the strength of our community.
Thank you for your continued trust and support of Johnson City ISD. Together, we will continue to build on the great work happening in our schools and ensure our students are prepared for the opportunities ahead.
Wishing everyone a productive and positive month.

2026-2027 JCISD Academic Calendar
On Monday night, the Johnson City ISD Board of Trustees officially adopted the 2026–2027 academic calendar. This action establishes the instructional schedule for the upcoming school year and allows the district to move forward with planning for campuses, staff, students, and families.
Weather Closure Update
Due to freezing weather conditions, Johnson City ISD canceled classes on January 26 and January 27 to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families. We recognize that weather closures can create disruptions for families and staff, and we appreciate everyone’s flexibility and cooperation during this time.
Fortunately, when developing the district academic calendar, additional instructional minutes were intentionally built in to account for situations such as inclement weather, emergencies, or other unforeseen closures. Because of these banked minutes, the days missed on January 26 and January 27 will not need to be made up later in the school year.
