[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they will drop the Feb. break with this late start.[/quote]

I pray they don’t. This is our Christmas and Spring break vacationing time.[/quote]

Agree. We love the Feb break.[/quote]

NP. I don't think we should have both. Either Feb or Spring break. I'm a high school parent. The more breaks before May 1 is detrimental to students who are taking AP classes and exams; those exams are the first week of May. Pushing 10 hours of instruction past the tests makes little sense.

For younger students, especially for those who are below grade level, it probably affects PARCC scores as well.[/quote]

These breaks were happening before, just at different times. It all works out at the end. I think it just depends on if you prefer more 3/4 day weekends or an extra full week off. [/quote]

Yep, the February break only started last school year, I believe, after parents complained about the ludicrous number of three-day weekends (I recall that during one recent school year, kids went to school on a Friday exactly once between Halloween and Christmas).[/quote]
