[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they do that? It is like begging kids to leave early...[/quote] They did that because of actual actions of parents over the years pulling kids out early anyway. First they added the half day before Thanksgiving, to deal with parents picking kids up early from school. This resulted in families just skipping that day completely. Then the ES/MS half days for student conferences around Nov 11 got extended to HS so they could watch siblings. Then because of too much disruption in early November/2nd quarter because of conferences plus closing for voting, they moved the conferences to Thanksgiving week and closed on the Wednesday. Attend or not as you choose. Just manage the consequences. But it is still two school days, so no, we don’t want to close the entire week. Not everyone is traveling or taking big vacations and we don’t need to extend the school year by two days to accommodate those who choose to do that.[/quote]
