Curriculum Implementation Day

School is not in session.
Starting this year, every school district in British Columbia will be starting the process of transitioning to the new Provincial Curriculum Framework. To support the transition, the Ministry of Education will be providing time for educators to become familiar with the new curriculum.
During the 2015-16 school year, two non-instructional days will be designated for educators to work directly with the new curriculum. The two additional non-instructional days for the Greater Victoria School District are:
– Monday, January 11, 2016
– Monday, April 4, 2016
