[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoops, brainfarted on Q3 there, should be around day 135 not 145.  So expect on Fri 29 Mar expect either early release or TW (with early release on 28th) to end Q3 leading into Spring Break.

I don't think they would put the TW on Mon 8 Apr coming out of Spring Break due to the Eid holiday on Wed and basically forcing an additional non-instructional day on Tue as a result.

A few other notes:

- I don't think a 1-week Winter Break is likely, though I could see them perhaps doing a partial week with early release on Wed 20 Dec?
- I could see them putting a non-instructional day on Mon 13 Nov to convert that into a 5-day weekend.
- The only way I see school ending a full week earlier in June is by starting a full week earlier in August... most stakeholders recognize the value of shortening the summer break (some vocal opponents, to be sure)... and we've essentially already moved to a 9-week summer break with the current 2022-23 calendar. I don't anticipate that reverting to a 10-week break... if anything I'd think we'd be more likely to move to an 8-week summer break at some point in the future and add a bit of a fall break after Q1 and/or some additional time off in the Feb/Mar period.[/quote]

OP here, and yes, I have a very similar list to yours.  I think it makes sense to have the Thursday/Friday before Christmas to be part of Winter Break, but not the whole week.

The end of Q3 timing is right before Easter, so it makes all the sense in the world to have Good Friday as a Q3 teacher workday and a student holiday.

I'm pretty sure Election Day will fall on Tuesday, Nov. 7th (first Tuesday, right?) rather than the 14th, so I'm not sure about Nov. 13th.

I personally prefer keeping the 9-week summer break with more days off during the school year.[/quote]
