[quote=Anonymous] St. Andrew's has an official "no test" policy for the Jewish holidays (and quite a few Jewish teachers who take the day off). The teachers may not always remember that a student will not be doing homework on the day of a religious holiday so assignments should not be due the day immediately after, but they always adjust the deadline when that is pointed out to them -- always. But, like 14:21, they became reluctant to take off for some holidays but I think that is more of a function of liking school and their friends more than they like services. I was the same way when I attended public schools that did not close on the Jewish holidays in another area. On the flip side, the Jewish students organize a high holiday chapel every year for the entire school at St. Andrew's between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur[/quote]
