[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As my kid mentioned it’s ridiculous that they use to start in Labor Day and be done by June 15, and now they start two weeks before Labor Day and still finish about the same time (or later because of missed snow days).

At some point folks are going to realize we can’t cater to everyone’s preferred days off and make a reasonable calendar without a bunch of worthless half days.[/quote]

I don't think they have started two weeks before Labor Day. It has been the week before Labor Day or the week after for many years.[/quote]

If they start only one week before Labor Day this year, won't they have to go until around June 25th?  And possibly into the week of June 28th if there are snow days?  That's kind of ridiculous...[/quote]
Fortunately there are at least 3 fewer days off in 2026-27 as Rosh Hashana, Diwali [b](first added this year)[/b] and Lunar New Year will fall on weekends.[/quote]

My youngest is a senior in college, but the students definitely had off for Diwali previously. It wasn't labeled "Diwali" on the calendar (labeled Professional Development), but anyone could Google for various non Judeo-Christian holidays.

This article is for the 22-23 year (after my kids were gone) school year, but it says Diwali was in MCPS.
