[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people are worried about Spring break.  The calendar is set up so that we would have to miss more than 6 days of school to before dipping into spring break makeup.  That's pretty unlikely.

On the 3rd snow day we make up on June 13, then snow day 4, 5 can be made up on the June dates.  5 snow days is a full week off school, which seems to be our worst case scenario.

In exchange, I can enjoy the last 2 weeks of summer in a MD beach house that costs less because these last 2 weeks are part of the shoulder season.  And beaches are way less crowded.  Loving this new schedule.  [/quote]

So cute that you already forgot the "Blizzard of '16" that obliterated snow dates.[/quote]

We missed 6 days of school in 2016.  That year snow fell heavily in January, and if something similar happened we would be able to use the 6th snow day in late January in addition to the 5 days I already mentioned above.

Only if we had 7 or more days of snow, and the bulk of those days came in February or March, would we break into the Spring break snow days.  Principals have discretion to allow days to be excused for a variety of reasons, and I have no doubt tbey would not fail students who missed spring break makeup days.

So, personally, I think you are all Henny Pennys who are shouting the sky is falling.
