The Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires districts to provide a specific number of operational minutes in the academic school calendar, rather than a specific number of school days.  The 2023-2024 academic calendar meets this requirement. The 2022-2023 academic calendar also reflects 174 days of instruction. 

On early release days, students will be dismissed at the following times:

Elementary campuses:       Noon

Middle School campuses:  12:35 pm

Lowery Freshman Center:  1:05 PM

Allen High School:              1:10 pm

STEAM Center:                  1:15 PM

Yes. Students who are enrolled in Kids Club will be able to attend Kids Club once school is dismissed on early release days.

Lunch will be served on elementary campuses.  An optional grab and go lunch will be available on secondary campuses.

We value communication and strong partnership with parents.  October 13 is designated as a day for parent and teacher conferences.  This provides an opportunity to review your child’s progress for the first nine weeks grading period.  The process and schedule for this day will be coordinated by your child’s teacher and/or campus.  This is a school holiday for students.

The dates for Spring Break align to the academic calendars of Collin College and several surrounding districts, which is beneficial to our staff and families.  It is valuable to align our Spring Break with the Spring Break of Collin College in an effort to support our students who are enrolled in Dual Credit courses.          

Graduation for the Class of 2024 is tentatively set for Friday, May 24, 2024 at 7:30pm. 

Yes. If extreme circumstances result in the loss of operational minutes, the district may add minutes to days remaining in the school year to make up for an unplanned event that caused a school to close during the school year. 

January 8 and April 22 are designated as bad weather make-up days.  If only 1 day is required, April 22 will be used. The academic calendar reflects enough operational minutes to provide the district the option to use accumulated operational minutes prior to officially using the two Bad Weather Days identified on the calendar.  If there is a need to make-up operational minutes due to a weather incident, accumulated operational minutes will be used first.

Allen ISD is committed to professional growth for all staff and has included a professional learning day during the 2023-2024 school year.  For the Professional Development Trade Day, staff will earn professional learning hours during non-contract time in exchange for the designated Trade Day on March 11, 2024. 

Monday, March 11, 2024 is a student holiday.
