[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/new_york/teaneck_charter_sparking_fresh_debate One thing I wonder is, this Hebrew school will follow the regular D.C. vacation schedule, right?[/quote] Every charter sets its own schedule, including first day of school, last day of school, days off. For example, YY has a day off for Chinese New Year. I would imagine Washington Hebrew would be [b]off on Yom Kippur, Hannukah, and will have school on Christmas.[/b][/quote] Likely, instead, to have off: Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur (two of the holiest days in the Jewish calendar - early fall) winter break will be the same as everyone else's (over Xmas and New Years - I don't know a single Jewish/Hebrew school in America that has school that week - and Hanukah isn't a holiday that expects time spent away from work/school) spring break will probably coincide with Passover[/quote] While I generally agree with you, when I was growing up the more orthodox day school insisted on starting winter break the day after Christmas to make some point I guess, even though it was pretty inconvenient for parents.
