The school year is a little longer now than it was when I was in school, but in my district we start the school year super early, in mid-August. Why, you ask? To accommodate all the days off!
Days off start coming at us fast and furious now:
Veterans Day (tomorrow)
Used to be an optional Professional Development day, now just a random day off (Friday)
Thanksgiving week
Christmas/New Year
Dr. King's birthday
Ski Week in February
And all of that occurs between now and the end of February!
Spring Break occurs in March or April each year, but that's too late to include in the rush of holidays above.
