IMPORTANT: Secondary schools, in consultation with their Local School Staffing Advisory Committee, may schedule a PA day to align with the day following one of the Parent-Teacher Interview nights.
As a result, some secondary schools may have adjusted PA day schedules. Please refer to the events calendar on the school’s website for the confirmed PA day dates.
In an effort to offer greater transparency for families, the Ministry of Education is requiring schools to post a summary of their PA day activities in advance of each PA day.
Visit your local school website to learn more about their PA day activities.
Visit our Events page to view and sync our calendar with your Google, Outlook or iCal calendar.
The Ontario Ministry of Education has provided school calendars and key dates for future school years. These future school years are provided for the guidance of school board officials in the preparation of their school year calendars, and are therefore subject to change by individual school boards.
