[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course.  The drama around the start date being a week later is ridiculous.  [/quote]

Have you checked the forecast?[/quote]

You really need to unclench.

One week doesn't make a difference
A few snow days and whatever result of waivers doesn't make a difference
Spring Break shortened or not doesn't make a difference. 
Your kids missing a few days of school if you book a vacation doesn't make a difference.

There are much bigger problems in this world.  It is summer and you are worried about click bait snow forecasts 5 months away?

Sit back and drink a Margarita. Live a little more. Stress a little less.

You must not have any high school days where unexcused absences make a difference. [/quote]

Kids not days[/quote]

Do they get expelled??    :roll:

I have a high schooler at MCPS and we take mini vacations all the time throughout the year. No issue at all.  Are you saying IF we go over 6 snow days and then your child may miss 1-2 days off Spring Break schedule, they will get what??  You are so f'ing dramatic. [/quote]

Not sure which school your kids go to, but missing a day or two at my kid's high school means an awful lot of work has to be made up. This is absolutely true if your child is taking AP/Honors classes. Is it the end of the world? No, but we rarely have our kids miss any school unless they are actually sick. Vacations are planned for non-school days and there are plenty of those. [/quote]

I teach at a 'W' school, and I assure you that missing those first couple of days of spring break would not be an issue if that should happen. We we made up a snow day a couple of years ago (I think it was on Easter Monday), there were many subs in the building that day and the entire staff was aware of the fact that many students would be missing.  We were told to be completely accommodating to families who made plans to be out of town at that time, and I don't know of anyone in my building who had any problem with this.  I'm happy to hold down the fort at school on those days if it means making up the snow days in advance of the end of the year.  :-)[/quote]
