Which schools this covers
Regular elementary schools and semestered secondary schools. TDSB publishes separate calendars for quadmestered secondary schools, 5-day-cycle elementary schools, adult day schools, EdVance and RH King Academy.
- TDSB calls March Break the Mid-Winter Break.
- EQAO and OSSLT dates were still to be announced (TBD) when we checked.
Check TDSB’s own calendar before you book anything: boards can amend their calendars during the year, and some schools run a calendar of their own.
