Academic Calendars for this year and next!
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.
Our provisional Academic Calendar for the 23-24 School Year has also been released. This calendar is subject to small changes between now and the beginning of next school year. You can see our provisional calendar below
