Items marked Calculated are worked out from published dates; they are not stated directly in the official source.

For 2026–27, check whether your child follows the regular or modified calendar at Peel District School Board. Alongside its regular schedule, the board publishes a modified, balanced calendar for Roberta Bondar, Ray Lawson and Tony Pontes Public School. That alternative has a fall break, a longer winter break and a two-week spring break. Both calendars have their own tables here and appear in the break comparison. Elementary and secondary PA days are distinguished too, while the regular calendar’s closing entry keeps the board’s wording, 'school year ends', rather than being relabelled as a last class day.

Common questions

Which schools follow the modified calendar?

Roberta Bondar, Ray Lawson and Tony Pontes Public School follow the modified, balanced calendar. Its break pattern differs from the regular calendar, so use the modified rows in the break table and the separate modified calendar table for those schools.

How does the balanced calendar change the breaks?

The modified calendar includes a fall break, a longer winter break and a two-week spring break. Check the separate regular and modified calendar tables for the dates that apply to your school.

Does 'school year ends' mean the last class day?

No. The regular calendar’s 'school year ends' entry includes the final PA days; the last day of classes comes earlier. Check the elementary or secondary PA day entries and your school’s calendar.
