  • Winter Break: two weeks, December 22, 2025 to January 2, 2026, inclusive (aligned with known break dates for other Metro Vancouver area school districts)
  • Spring Break: two weeks, March 16, 2026 to March 27, 2026, inclusive (aligned with known break dates for other Metro Vancouver area school districts)
  • Four (4) Staff Collaboration Dates throughout the year (shortened days for students)

This year, feedback comments will be collected online via MS Forms; the submission form can be accessed HERE. The opportunity to provide comment and feedback begins Tuesday, January 14, 2025 and ends midnight Tuesday, February 11, 2025.

A summary of the feedback comments received will be shared with the Board of Education at their Public Board Meeting scheduled for February 25, 2025 when the Board will finalize and approve a 2025/26 School Calendar.
