Background:

Each year, the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington (PVNC) Catholic District School Board provides an opportunity to parents/guardians, students, staff and community members to review the draft school year calendar for the upcoming year.

You can access the Draft 2025-2026 Elementary and Secondary Calendars under Documents on the right side of this page.

Highlights include:

• The first day of school for students is September 2, 2025.
• The proposed winter break is from December 22, 2025 - January 2, 2026. The last day of classes will be December 19, 2025 and students will return to class on January 5, 2026.
• The proposed March Break is March 13th to March 20, 2026.

For those who wish to give feedback, we ask that you use the survey tool below to provide constructive feedback. Your comments will be reviewed and considered in making final recommendations for Board and Ministry of Education Approval.

Survey Deadline: January 26, 2025

We ask you to sign up for the online platform because:

• It helps us to ensure we are receiving input from stakeholders within our own educational community and the people we serve.
• It helps to minimize the chance of the consultation being manipulated by someone who leave many comments in support of a position.
