Will they add days to the end of the year?

The unnecessary angst. School ends June 13. Plan away.

Except it doesn't, and the minute I plan to go spend that week at my ILs, we'll find out there's some kind of special event/activity on actual last week of school and my kid will be devastated to miss it because "everyone will be there" and suddenly I'm a jerk for not sending my kid that week.

Also, because it's DCPS, they will 100% mark kids who aren't there that week as unexcused absences and if you have racked up any other unexcused absences during the year, you'll start getting the threatening letters about CPS.

I'd love if if June 13th were actually the last day of school, but it's not. Sorry to the teacher who will wind up having to deal with the stupidity of having kids in class that week.

CPS doesn’t care about unexcused absences after the school year ends. Attendance counselors aren’t reporting students after the last day of school. Don’t let that prevent you from take days. Or just do what other parents do and say your kid is sick. Kids miss an entire quarter of the year all excused and no one blinks an eye.

What is CPS going to threaten you with? If you miss too many days you might get an auto-generated form letter. CPS has better things to do than track down parents that take their kids out of school a few days before the end of the year. You need to have serious issues before CPS is actually going to intervene.
