Red Deer Public Schools students to begin next school year after Labour Day weekend
After the release of the 2024-2025 calendar in the spring of 2023, Senior Administration with Red Deer Public Schools received additional comments from parents and staff at their recent meeting this month.
According to division officials, parents indicated they would like to see students return to school after the Labour Day weekend.
Officials say staff shared the challenges they face with the number of short weeks at the beginning of the school year, as this is when teachers establish routines and relationships with their students.
To address these concerns, officials say the first day of school for students will be on September 3, 2024, and there will be an additional two full weeks in the first eight weeks of school.
