“The V.I. Department of Education’s public school calendar has been developed to ensure that Virgin Islands students receive a quality education designed to promote their social, emotional, and academic achievement,” said Dr. Terry. “This territory-wide calendar is one on which the days of operation are universal to all public school buildings and school-based programs within the territory of the Virgin Islands, inclusive of the beginning and ending dates of the school year and all vacation days. However, the individual public school buildings and school-based program hours of operation may vary based on the universal days for activities such as staff development and parent-teacher conferences.”
Copies of the school calendar are now available on the V.I. Department of Education Web site: www.doe.vi for easy access and download.
