The Greater Victoria School District is asking students, staff, and families to provide feedback on the proposed calendars for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 school years.
The School District has collaborated with neighbouring School Districts in Saanich (School District #63) and Sooke (School District #62) to align calendar dates, including spring and winter breaks, as much as possible. The proposed calendars put forward are below.
All feedback can be directed to Communications & Community Engagement by email: community@sd61.bc.ca.
The deadline for feedback is Friday, March 31, 2023, at 4 pm. The calendars will be finalized and posted on the School District website in Spring 2023.
