The °ÄÃÅÌØÂí×ÊÁÏ is welcoming feedback and comments until January 8, 2020 about the proposed three-year calendar for the school years from 2020-21 through 2022-23. The calendar sets out winter and spring breaks, as well as school closure days, including district-wide professional days.
School Calendar Summary 2020-2023
The following is of note:
- The proposed three-year calendar is aligned with other Metro Vancouver school districts; the winter and spring break dates suggested are the same.
- Since 2014 the °ÄÃÅÌØÂí×ÊÁÏ has been operating with five school closure days. The instructional time lost, due to the closure days, is added to the remaining days in session.
- The number of professional development days (six) remains the same in all three years.
- The draft calendar for the 2020-21 school year includes four Professional Development Days which tentatively fall on:
- Friday October 23, 2020
- Friday November 27, 2020
- Friday February 26, 2021
- Monday April 26, 2021
- Each school must also choose additional professional days (two) over the course of the school year. These are published in the spring before the following year’s calendar.
- Each year, all Burnaby Schools meet the required hours of instruction.
