School calendars approved for 2026-2027, 2027-2028, 2028-2028
The Comox Valley Board of Education has approved district school calendars for the 2026–2027, 2027–2028 and 2028–2029 school years. These calendars establish the start and end dates of the school year, as well as key holiday breaks and non-instructional days.
Planning school calendars several years in advance helps provide greater predictability for students, families and staff. It also supports district and school planning, while helping families prepare for important dates such as the start and end of the school year, winter break, spring break and non-instructional days.
The calendars were developed through the district’s Calendar Committee, which includes representatives from senior leadership, the Comox Valley Principals and Vice-Principals Association, the Comox District Teachers’ Association, CUPE Local 439, the District Parent Advisory Council and a trustee representative. Draft calendars were then shared publicly for review and feedback before being brought forward to the board for approval.
These approved school calendars come after families, staff and community members were invited earlier this year to review the proposed calendars and provide feedback through a public survey. The final calendars reflect a thoughtful balance of community input, operational requirements and the learning needs of students across Comox Valley Schools.
The approved calendars, along with questions and answers about the calendar development and consultation process, are available on the Comox Valley Schools website.
