[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS 2021-2022 CALENDAR ALERT!  Be sure to read the email from APS and respond to the survey. They really seem to be trying to push forward quick & dirty without time for parent/staff/community input.  The survey is only open through October 30th!
They're adding four religious holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, one Eid, and Diwali), which do not seem to be up for negotiation.
This necessitates starting school about a week earlier. If you object to an earlier start or later end to the school year, the holidays the survey lets you elect to cut in exchange (you are to pick 5) are Columbus/Peoples Indigenous Day, day before Thanksgiving, Winter Break days, or government/secular holidays like Veterans Day or MLK day, for example.[/quote]

I don't understand your objection to the added holidays. At all.

APS has been trying to start earlier for years. Nothing new there.

I also don't understand why you think you deserve a say in any of this. You're only a parent. It's not like you are an important stakeholder. Take a seat and let them work. [/quote]
Kids might realize there are alternatives to Christianity. [/quote]

Yeah, plenty of superstitions to choose from.[/quote]
