[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are closed for Eid on April 10.[/quote]

If it moves, as sometimes happens, would it move forward or backward in the week?

The eclipse in the 8th and we're making travel plans but I'm not sure how much school the kids will miss.  [/quote]

I was planning a trip, but my kid has a big test that makes up like 50% of their grade that they would be missing.[/quote]

You're planning bit travel for a Wednesday in the middle of a week with no other days off?[/quote]

I am -- taking my 11th grader to see a couple of colleges in PA.

Will FCPS really move the day off??[/quote]

Use attendance form to keep kid out of school due to illness. They will have to let you make up the test. Done.

Don't overthink it.[/quote]

Yeah, my kid is not one interested in missing/having to make up tests. We'd rather just reschedule our trip if it's possible.

I called FCPS EERelations/Community help line. They did not think that FCPS would move the day off but transfered me to someone else who also didn't *think* it would get moved but transfered me to someone else who would know for sure and I had to leave a message.[/quote]

James Jackson from FCPS called me back. He is with the Employee Relations group. He said FCPS will NOT be moving the April 10 day off even if Eid actually hits a different day.[/quote]

Sometimes I wish DCUM weren't anonymous so that I could know how reliable this post is.  [/quote]

Cannot figure out how to login right now but I am the one to spoke with James Jackson -- my name is Claire Meade -- my son is a junior at SLHS and I have been planning to take him to PA for college tours on April 10 so I was posting earlier about whether or not this date could be changed... instead of all the back and forth here, I just called FCPS and while it took them a day to get back to me, they did!

Hope this helps! The info is as reliable as James Jackson's word (well, and mine)!   :)
