[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love the two week Christmas break. [/quote] Why?[/quote] The Christmas holiday season is so busy, especially if you travel to see family. 2 weeks is perfect...it gives you a few days to prep for the holidays at the beginning and a few days to rest and relax at the end. It also gives people a ton more flexibility when choosing plane tickets...you are not locked into leaving and returning the exact same two days everyone else is trying to fly. The smart thing for fcps to do is to start the school year the 3rd week of August and arrange the long weekends so that the semester ends right before you go on break over the holidays. 2nd semester should start when you come back in January and the year should end the last week of May or first week of June, so fcps is aligned with the majority of the country with school ending shortly after AP exams.[/quote]
