The Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board have coordinated their calendars so that elementary and secondary students will be off on the same day.<\/p>\n<p>The PA day also falls on Ontario\u2019s municipal election day, meaning students will return to class on Tuesday, Oct. 27.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the second consecutive weekend that students have enjoyed three days off, following the Thanksgiving long weekend earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>The Oct. 26 break is part of the regular school calendar, with several more holidays, PA days and school breaks scheduled between now and the end of the 2026-27 school year.<\/p>\n<p>Families can expect several more opportunities for students to take a break from the classroom over the coming months. The following dates apply to Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board schools, although some PA days differ between elementary and secondary students.<\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vidyard-player-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1792690453_978_1wKCnbEiUXRKoLdrNeSSjA.jpg\" data-videoid=\"856200\" data-uuid=\"1wKCnbEiUXRKoLdrNeSSjA\" data-v=\"4\" data-type=\"inline\" data-muted=\"1\" style=\"width:100%\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vidyard-player-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1792690455_478_WgFDqiG8Xxc2a4A7ikfFCG.jpg\" data-videoid=\"853519\" data-uuid=\"WgFDqiG8Xxc2a4A7ikfFCG\" data-v=\"4\" data-type=\"inline\" data-muted=\"1\" style=\"width:100%\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p>October<\/p>\n<p>Monday, Oct. 26 \u2014 PA day for elementary and secondary students.<\/p>\n<p>November<\/p>\n<p>Last 30 Days: 59,308 Votes<\/p>\n<p>All Time: 1,592,069 Votes<\/p>\n<p>    286 VOTES<br \/>\n    What was the biggest factor in deciding your vote for mayor?    <\/p>\n<p>Friday, Nov. 27 \u2014 PA day for elementary students.<\/p>\n<p>December and January<\/p>\n<p>Monday, Dec. 21, to Friday, Jan. 1 \u2014 Christmas break.<\/p>\n<p>Monday, Jan. 18 \u2014 PA day for elementary students.<\/p>\n<p>February<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, Feb. 3 \u2014 PA day for secondary students.<\/p>\n<p>Friday, Feb. 12 \u2014 PA day for elementary and secondary students.<\/p>\n<p>Monday, Feb. 15 \u2014 Family Day.<\/p>\n<p>March<\/p>\n<p>Monday, March 15, to Friday, March 19 \u2014 March Break.<\/p>\n<p>Friday, March 26 \u2014 Good Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Monday, March 29 \u2014 Easter Monday.<\/p>\n<p>May and June<\/p>\n<p>Monday, May 24 \u2014 Victoria Day.<\/p>\n<p>Monday, June 14 \u2014 PA day for elementary students.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday, June 29, and Wednesday, June 30 \u2014 PA days for secondary students.<\/p>\n<p>School calendars can vary by board and school, particularly for PA days and secondary school examination schedules.
