school calendars

This page shows you the Calgary Board of Education approved and tentative school instructional calendars. Tentative calendars are provided to help families look at planning ahead; however, unforeseen circumstances may require adjustments to any school instructional calendar.

In addition to the traditional 10-month school calendar, the CBE establishes and approves a modified calendar.  This calendar begins the school year in August and builds in extra non-school days during the course of the school year.  All students are provided the required amount of instructional time regardless of the school calendar used.

For more information about CBE schools with Modified Instructional Calendars, please follow this link.

2012-2013 school calendars revised and approved

The Calgary Board of Education has approved the system instructional calendars for the 2012-2013 school year. These calendars are updated from the tentative calendars previously linked to this page.

Please note: the traditional school calendar is revised from the one published in Dec. 2011. Oct. 9 is now a school day and winter break is one day longer.  Classes begin on Jan. 8.

Changes to 2012-2013 calendars

  • 10 system-wide non-instruction days in each calendar.
  • First day of school for students in the traditional calendar is now Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012.  There is an extra day added to winter break in the traditional calendar.  Students and school staff come back to school on Tuesday, January 8, 2013.

Please scroll down to find links to the revised system instructional calendars or click here.

System calendars establish common start and end days, and 10 system-wide days for schools to plan for student learning and education programming. These 10 days incorporate time to schedule parent-teacher conferences, professional development and organizational days. Schools may identify additional non-instructional days, late entries or early dismissals in consultation with their school community and area director, and in alignment with Alberta Education and Calgary Board of Education requirements for instruction. For more information about a specific school instructional calendar, please check the school web site or call the school office. CBE school websites may be found through this link. If you have questions about what professional learning activities for staff take place at your school, please call the school office.
