Teachers will be leaving the schools at that time while participating in rotating strikes.
Teachers and the provincial government have been butting heads over a new contract agreement, with one of the main sticking points over classroom size and complexity.
While both sides recognize that classroom size and complexity are issues that need to be addressed, teachers would like those issues to be part of the bargaining process. However, the province refuses, saying those are issues better handled by local school boards.
Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill has said it is a line in the sand that the provincial government will not budge on.
The STF said that anyone concerned about this job action should contact their MLAs and elected school board trustees.
