Houston Area School District Calendars
Parents and their attorneys often need to consult school district calendars to determine when divorced or separated parents are entitled to possession of their children. This is particularly important in these circumstances:
- The dates when school starts and ends (Thursday periods of possession are only during the regular school term and many summer visitations must end at least a week before the start of school; the parent with visitation who must plan his or her summer needs to know when school stops for the summer before giving notice on April 1 of each year of what his or her extended summer possession will be);
- School holidays on Fridays or Mondays before or after a weekend can extend visitation according to most possession orders;
- Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break periods of possession are all keyed to the school district calendar;
