[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS 2021-2022 CALENDAR ALERT!  Be sure to read the email from APS and respond to the survey. They really seem to be trying to push forward quick & dirty without time for parent/staff/community input.  The survey is only open through October 30th!
They're adding four religious holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, one Eid, and Diwali), which do not seem to be up for negotiation.
This necessitates starting school about a week earlier. If you object to an earlier start or later end to the school year, the holidays the survey lets you elect to cut in exchange (you are to pick 5) are Columbus/Peoples Indigenous Day, day before Thanksgiving, Winter Break days, or government/secular holidays like Veterans Day or MLK day, for example.[/quote]

Wow. I thought this post was offensive when you posted it on AEM and I still think so. You seem to be quite annoyed that APS is respecting more major non-Christian holidays. The only thing that disappoints me about this proposed calendar, aside from reactions like yours, is that it took APS so long to do this.[/quote]
