During the July 23 called board meeting, the Dallas Independent School District’s
Board of Trustees approved several changes to the 2020-21 school year calendar.
The approved changes to the calendar, which you can see here, are:
• The first day of school moves from Aug. 17 to Sept. 8.
• The last day of school moves from May 27, 2021, to June 18, 2021
• Previously planned holidays in October are removed due to the cancellation of
the State Fair.
• Tuesday, November 3, 2020, is added as a holiday.
• Grading periods are increased from six-week to nine-week periods.
The COVID-19 threat closer to the start of school will determine whether the district
offers online learning only when school first starts or have the option of in-person
or online learning. Safety reentry materials can be found at https://www.dallasisd.
