[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just wish they would have followed through with what they said in 2019 (or 2018?) and made calendar decisions by April of the prior year so I could plan better! [/quote]
The calendar was adopted in December 2020, that’s plenty of time[/quote]

Lots of people book summer vacations well before that timing.[/quote]

Well guess what you know they are off all of July and 1/2 of august. The end of august is hurricane season. [/quote]

The hard part is there aren't camps the week before school starts, so people use that week as vacation to fill the childcare gap.  But it's not clear what week that will be.  We already booked our vacation rental for next August, as it was filling up.  Hopefully we predicted the right week before school starting.

APS really should set a calendar earlier.  It's not like holidays aren't known more than a year in advance.  My school district as a kid had a 5 year calendar and each year they set the calendar for the 5th year out.[/quote]

Ever consider just taking time off and staying home or taking local day trips?  A week of "childcare" doesn't mean your whole family has to leave town together.  And if you have to plan vacation from your employer, do you really need to do it 9 months ahead?[/quote]
Yeah, I get two weeks of vacation a year, I don't want to waste my one week of summer vacation.  Why can't APS just decide the calendar sooner?  So lazy and disorganized.[/quote]
