GUELPH, Ontario – The Ministry of Education has approved the school year calendar for 2018-19 in the Upper Grand District School Board.

At the March meeting of the UGDSB, trustees approved draft school year calendars for the 2018-2019 school year for elementary and secondary schools in the Upper Grand DSB. The draft calendars were then submitted to the Ministry of Education for final approval.

The calendars were reviewed by a committee of stakeholders, including representatives from all bargaining units, principals, human resources, board staff and parents.

The proposed calendars meet all of the requirements under Ontario Regulation 304 and abide by the elementary and secondary teachers’ collective agreements. Both calendars have 194 school days, including seven professional activity days. Ten instructional days have been scheduled for secondary exams.

Students will start the year on Sept. 4, 2018. For the Christmas break, classes will run until Friday Dec. 21, 2018 and return after the holidays on Monday Jan. 7, 2019. March Break will be from March 11 to 15, 2019. The last day of school will fall on June 25, 2019 for secondary students and June 27 for elementary students. The Wellington Catholic District School Board also submitted a similar calendar to the Ministry for approval.

The final approved calendars are posted on the board website under School Year Calendars.
