• A Spring break with no more than 5 consecutive days.

Key Points

• These calendar options both consist of 197 days, of which 184 are instructional days.
• Instructional days are 310 minutes of instruction per day.
• As in the past, schools will have the opportunity to work with their local school communities to determine specific Student-Led Conference times and formats.
• Departmental Exams are scheduled for Monday, January 26 through Thursday, January 29, 2026, inclusive and Monday, June 22 through Thursday, June 25, 2026, inclusive.
• Both calendar options retain the February Break and Easter Break.
• Both calendar options have 93 Student Instructional Days in Semester 1 and 91 Student Instructional Days in Semester 2.
• Both calendar options identify Tuesday, September 30 as a Student Instructional Day.  As part of our commitment to truth and reconciliation, this provides staff and students the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the historic and ongoing impacts of residential schools.  It also provides the opportunity to participate in community events in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
