Proposed 2018-2019 School Year Calendar approved by Board of Trustees

Final approval required by Ministry of Education anticipated in late Spring

At the April 18, 2018 Board meeting, trustees of the Halton District School Board approved the proposed calendar dates for the upcoming 2018-2019 school year. Final approval of the calendar by the Ministry of Education is anticipated later in Spring 2018.

The school year calendar is developed with input from the School Year Calendar Committee consisting of representatives from interested and affected groups, including parents/guardians. The 2018-2019 school year calendar is aligned with the Halton Catholic District School Board calendar, to save resources on school bus transportation, which is shared between the boards.

Earlier this month, the Board conducted a survey with parents and guardians for feedback regarding their date preference for the Professional Activity (PA) Day in October 2018. The date choices were October 5 and 22. Based on the results, 70 percent preferred October 5 as the PA Day.

These dates have been provided to schools to be shared with students and parents/guardians, and they are also posted on the Board’s website at www.hdsb.ca (refer to the Calendar on the home page).
