BURLINGTON, ON

The school year calendar is developed with input from the School Year Calendar Committee consisting of representatives from the school communities including parents/guardians and employee groups. The Trustees of the Halton District School Board and Trustees of the Halton Catholic District School Board approved the calendar dates for the 2026-2027 school year during their respective Board meetings in February.

The calendar outlines the Professional Activity days (PA) for staff when schools will be closed to students, as well as school breaks and holidays. The first day of school for the 2026-2027 school year is Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026.

These dates will be shared with families and are also posted on each school board’s website.
