The 2026-2027 Proposed School Calendar was developed in accordance with the requirements of the School Act and in consultation with Peace River South Teachers’ Association.
The calendar reflects the current collective agreement language around start, end, and break times with special approval for the two-week spring break. This language includes that Winter Break starts on the Monday preceding December 26th and that Spring Break starts on the third Monday in March. In addition, the 2026-2027 proposed calendar reflects the collective agreement language that all days shall be scheduled between the Tuesday after Labour Day and the last Friday in June, unless the last Friday in June falls on or before June 25th, in which case the school year will end on June 30th.
Section 87.01 (7) of the School Act requires consultation on school calendars. A board must make public a proposed school calendar for one month prior to submitting it to the Ministry. During the consultation period, a board must provide parents and board employees the opportunity to comment on the proposed calendar before it is adopted by the Board of Education and submitted to the Ministry of Education and Child Care by March 31st.
Written feedback must be sent to Jan Proulx before February 26, 2026 to be considered. The proposed calendar will be brought back for review in the board meeting scheduled on March 11, 2026.
