Sure. But then don’t be the same parent who complains your kid missed some cutoff for advanced classes in 3rd grade.

If I have a conference somewhere and the family could get free room, sure I would. If there was a wedding or some other event, yes too. But I wouldn't plan a vacation for a school week when summer break is just a few weeks later.

No. Not because it was more "convenient" for my family. If it was a trip tied to a close family member's wedding or something, you do what you need to, but in our district summer is 10 weeks. We can find a time in there for vacation.

Parents in the DMV went nuts during the pandemic and haven't recovered. I don't think this question would have received the same responses in 2019.

I am a teacher. I would reach out to the teacher and let them know that you are planning for your child to miss the first week of May due a vacation and would like to know if this time frame interferes with any testing. Other than that, it does not matter.

I have a second grader and 100% would do it. Wouldn't exceed five unexcused absences for the year, because then they get really up in your business.

Convenience? You can't figure out how to fit summer vacation into summer?

Contemplating a vacation the first week of May (last day of school is 5/24) due to obligations over Spring Break and a lot of the summer. We need a vacation big time and this would be the most convenient time. I don't feel like they hardly do anything in May as it is. Thoughts? She's a great student, no worries about her missing anything.
