Starting a new school year involves more than buying school supplies and updating wardrobes; it’s also a carefully choreographed dance of dates. If you have one child in the school system, you may be able to keep track of start and end dates, holidays, and Pro-D days, but add extracurricular classes, sports, and sibling schedules and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of school calendars across Metro Vancouver.
Consider the school calendar as a family playbook- it’s a roadmap to important dates when you get a glimpse into your child’s classroom life when meet-the-teacher conferences happen, and help you plan ahead for booking family vacations or childcare during the holiday breaks.
As a teacher, my family schedule revolves around the school calendar and I’ve pulled together some dates that should be on your radar. In order to save you time, click on the city links below to see important dates not only in your own school district but for all school districts across Metro Vancouver so you can make plans with friends and family.
