Marking the Year Together
The Northeastern Catholic District School Board publishes annual school year calendars to help families and staff plan ahead with confidence. These calendars outline important dates including the first and last day of school, holidays, professional activity (PA) days, and other key events throughout the year.
Because NCDSB serves a wide geographic region, two different school year calendars are published each year. One calendar applies to schools in Timmins, South Porcupine, Iroquois Falls, Cochrane, Kapuskasing, Kirkland Lake, Englehart, New Liskeard, and Cobalt, while a separate calendar is provided for Bishop Belleau School in Moosonee. This ensures local needs and community considerations are reflected, while all families have clear access to important dates and schedules.
