2025-2026 Calendar Update

As mentioned in the October 2025 newsletter (link), a reasonable adjustment to the instructional calendar may be required to meet provincial expectations for instructional hours and our commitment to student success. As such, to promote continuity of instructional time for our students, we have designated the following previously scheduled professional learning days to instructional days, where students are expected to attend school and engage in learning: 

• October 24, 2025 – Instructional Day 
• November 24, 2025  – Instructional Day
  
  If the labour action is not resolved by each scheduled date, these changes to instructional days might not happen as planned. If the labour action goes past November 24, 2025, we may need to look at further changes to make sure we meet the required instructional time.

The above changes have been made to avoid disrupting planned breaks, including Fall Break and Winter Break, so that families can continue with their scheduled plans and traditions without interruption.

In addition to the above two dates, the Division has an opportunity for teachers to engage in professional learning on April 17, 2026, that requires an additional update to the calendar:

• April 17, 2026 – Professional Learning Day / Non-Instructional Day
• April 24, 2026 – Instructional Day

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we work to prioritize instructional time and maintain a consistent learning environment for all students. You can find the updated calendar at our website (link) and also download the printable version (link). 

Please update your calendars accordingly and contact your school office if you have any questions or require further clarification.
