Following the Government of the Virgin Islands’ decision to implement a half-day schedule for all public officers on Tuesday, 18th November, 2025, the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports advises teachers, students, parents and the wider community that all public schools will close at 12:00 p.m. on that day.

This early closure aligns with the adjusted working hours for public officers and ensures that schools are able to operate safely and effectively under these revised arrangements.

The Ministry thanks all stakeholders for their cooperation and understanding.
