Students in the Wellington Catholic District School Board and Upper Grand District School Board are in for an extended Easter weekend this year, with no school on April 18 and April 21.

Both school boards have marked these dates as holidays in their 2024-2025 calendars, meaning students will have a few extra days at home. For parents, this means finding additional activities to keep kids entertained during the extended break.

Good Friday, on April 18, and Easter Monday, on April 21, will see schools closed for both boards.

Looking ahead, the next statutory holiday after Easter is Victoria Day, which falls on Monday, May 19.
