Which schools this covers

All TCDSB elementary and secondary schools (the board’s 2026-2027 key dates). Some secondary schools may move a PA day to follow a parent-teacher interview night: check your school’s events calendar.

TCDSB calls March Break the Mid-Winter Break and winter break the Christmas Break.
June 1, 2027 is Ontario Day, an instructional day.
Secondary schools have 10 exam days; TCDSB’s key dates give June 28, 2027 as the last day of exams for secondary students and June 30, 2027 as the last day of the school year.

Check TCDSB’s own calendar before you book anything: boards can amend their calendars during the year, and some schools run a calendar of their own.
