2025–2026 PLC calendar provided by the Curriculum Department.

Please note that these PLCs are independent of the teacher-led PLCs. Guidance regarding the teacher-led PLCs will be shared in a forthcoming communication.

You’ll also notice that certain months currently do not have a designated focus. This is intentional, as we aim to monitor adult learning throughout the year and remain flexible—allowing us to pivot if needed, either by deepening focus on existing topics or addressing emerging needs.
