Earlier this year we announced that there was a change to our academic calendar involving professional development days. Due to issues that have arisen since, those changes have been reverted. We are still on our original academic calendar. This means that March 9 is an instructional day, and April 10 is a PD day which will be a student holiday. You can see our full academic calendar below.
