To be fair, I was planning to take my kids on vacation that weekend anyway giving the ridiculous alignment of days off. I guess APS is acknowledging that we're all skipping these days?

Maybe I'm not paying enough attention, but why aren't these days part of the calendar acceptance process?
A 5 day weekend in November is pretty obnoxious. It was amazing to me this spring, when we had mostly 5 day weeks the end the year, how much EASIER it was to keep my kids in the groove. I didn't realize how awful all those 3 and 4 day weeks were. I thought it was nice to "get a break" but it's really just keeping them from hitting their stride because they are off more than on. |

| I'm curious as to why they couldn't just make the 2-days of Thanksgiving week the two training days for teachers and the students have the 5 days off. Far better than so many frequent long breaks. I agree with above commenter about getting back into the rhythm of school with frequent breaks. |

| Whatever APS proposes is, more than likely, dumb. |

Probably too many teachers planning to take those days off. |

All the more reason for students to have those days off, then. |

| There will still be HS tryouts that week for winter sports, so we won't be headed anywhere. |
