The proposed 2023/2024 school year calendar has been approved by trustees of the Halton District School Board.

The first day of school this fall will be Wednesday, Sept. 6 and the last day of school will be Thursday, June 27, 2024, and Friday, June 28, 2024, for secondary and elementary students, respectively.

School breaks and holidays are: Thanksgiving Oct. 9; winter break Dec. 25 to Jan. 5, 2024; Family Day Feb.

19, 2024; spring break March 11 to 15, 2024; Good Friday, March 29, 2024; Easter Monday, April 1, 2024, and Victoria Day May 20, 2024.

Elementary and secondary PA days will be Sept. 5, Oct. 6, Nov. 24, Feb. 16, 2024, and April 22, 2024.

Elementary-only PA days will be Jan. 22, 2024, and June 3, 2024.

Secondary-only PA days will be Feb. 2, 2024, and June 28, 2024. At the secondary level, Semester 1 exams will run Jan. 25 to Feb. 1, 2024, and Semester 2 exams from June 20 to June

The Ministry of Education mandates three professional activity days for ministry priorities while the other four PA days focus on board priorities.

Next year, the board anticipates ministry priorities to focus on mathematics, health and safety training for education workers, equity, student well-being and gap-closing strategies due to the pandemic.

All HDSB PA days match those of the Halton Catholic District School Board, as do exam days.
