The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board ad hoc School Year Calendar Consultative Committee is comprised of parent representatives, students, administrators, various employee groups and union representatives. The committee has begun the process of planning the school year calendar for the 2016-2017 school year.
There are many factors to consider in establishing each school year calendar. School boards are required to prepare, adopt, and submit to the Ministry of Education on or before May 1st of each year (or March 1st for a modified calendar), the school year calendar to be followed in the next school year. This includes start and end dates, professional development days and school breaks.
As the committee prepares to make recommendations for the next school year, we are seeking your feedback on the options available for next year's Winter Break 2016-2017. Your feedback will be shared with the committee as they make their recommendations.
The options being considered are:
OPTION 1:
- Last day of school Friday, 16 December 2016
- No school from 17 December 2016 – 1 January 2017
- Students returning to school Monday, 2 January 2017
OR
OPTION 2:
- Last day of school Friday, 23 December 2016
- No school from 24 December 2016 – 8 January 2017
- Students returning to school on Monday, 9 January 2017
A survey has been created for you to share with parents/guardians and staff.
