Closed: Schools in Mississauga and Brampton closed this Friday

If you have children who attend a Peel District School Board (PDSB) or Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB) school in Mississauga, Brampton or Caledon, they won’t be in class on Friday, Nov. 24.

According to the school calendars released by both boards, Nov. 24 will be a professional activity day (although on the DPCDSB calendar, it’s referred to as “provincial priorities in a Catholic context”), meaning students will not be in school.

The PA day affects both elementary and secondary school students.

Every school year, students get a number of days off for what are referred to as professional activity or professional development days.

Teachers use PA days to engage in non-teaching activities such as marking tests or assignments, writing report cards or completing other tasks.
