You're from Nicaragua, right? I'm not sure why we get out so often. They added fall break in 1st grade(age 6). |

- 2 1/2 months for summer - Veteran's Day in November - 2 days for Thanksgiving in November - 1 1/2 weeks for winter break (next year, we're gonna have 2 full weeks) - MLK Day in January - 8 days for Spring Break (not counting weekends, from April 14-April 21, go back to school on the 22nd) - Memorial Day in May - Last day of school is usually like the 3rd Tuesday or something in June.
This is not counting the teacher workdays we get after the marking period so they can put in grades for the report card. And also not counting snowdays. This year, we already had 13 (counting tomorrow's snowday) and 5 2-hour delays.

Where I live, it feels like we have had 6 months of vacation with all the snow days we've had.
And no, I do not live in Canada. |

I had to go to school on the 17th because the stupid school district couldnt fit in a 4th snowday. That day I sprained my ankle in gym class.

I don't see why you guys don't allow so much. Missing like 4 days of school shouldn't really be enough to msjorly alter the schedule or anything. That tells me that:
1. Your school doesn't build enough snowdays into the calendar. 2. Your school has you going to school too many days of the year. |

@ifloral
Why such long breaks? Your school district seems cool. Unless you're going to school an extensive amount of hours each day or something. |
