Dear Itasca ISD Parents and School Community,
We are excited to announce the adoption of the 2025-2026 academic calendar, which continues the successful framework of the current 2024-2025 calendar. We hope you have enjoyed the benefits of the two additional breaks we introduced—one in the fall and another in the winter.
We want to clarify that this is not a year-round school calendar. Instead, it is a comprehensive 12-month calendar showcasing Itasca ISD’s activities, including state-required summer school and End-of-Course (EOC) testing makeup sessions. The calendar also highlights when our staff will be on campus during the summer to serve our families and the community.
By releasing the calendar early, we aim to help families plan ahead for summer activities,
particularly if your child needs to attend summer school or participate in summer testing.
For more details or any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the administration
building or your child’s campus.
Thank you for your continued partnership in making Itasca ISD a great place for our students to learn and grow.
A print-friendly version of the calendar can be found here: https://5il.co/35ovr
Sincerely,
Tonya Harris
Superintendent

Dear Itasca ISD Families and Staff,
We have continued to monitor weather conditions and have been in communication with the National Weather Service. Temperatures are expected to drop overnight creating potentially dangerous road conditions tomorrow.
That coupled with staff shortages caused by closures in surrounding areas, we have made the difficult decision to close Itasca ISD for Friday, January 10, 2025.
The safety of our students, staff, and families is always our top priority. We understand this decision may cause disruptions, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure everyone’s well-being.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary through email, our district website, and social media.
Thank you for your flexibility and support as we navigate these challenges.
Thank You!! #SchoolBoardMonth #itascaisd #wampuscatpride
