The °ÄÃÅÌØÂí×ÊÁÏ is welcoming feedback and comments until February 10, 2023, about the proposed three-year calendar for the school years 2023-24 through 2025-26. The calendar sets out winter and spring breaks, as well as school closure days, including district-wide professional days.
School Calendar Summary 2023-2026
The following is of note:
- The proposed three-year calendar is aligned with most Metro Vancouver school districts.
- 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.
- In the 2023-2024 school year, one of the school closure days occurs on the Friday before the traditional Spring Break period due to Good Friday, a statutory holiday, occurring during the break.
- The number of professional development days (six) remains the same in all three years.
- The draft calendar for the 2023-24 school year includes four Professional Development Days which tentatively fall on:
- Friday, October 20, 2023
- Friday, November 24, 2023
- Friday, February 16, 2024
- Monday, April 29, 2024
- Schools will each choose two additional professional days 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.
