YOUR local school district spring break

After reading the college spring break thread several times, I'm wondering what school districts around the nation do for their spring break. So, if you know, and if you care to share, when is your local school district's spring break?

Ours is March 31 - April 4 (which is why we're going that week )

Re: YOUR local school district spring break

ours starts palm sunday and ends easter sunday. strange - we have it the 3rd week of march every year, easter just happens to fall during it this time.

as a church worker, i am wondering how to plan - usually we are packed easter sunday - kinda wondering if it'll affect attendance. definitley makes us NOT able to go anywhere for spring break this year - at least not on the weekends. bummer.

Here in Central Texas ours is the week of March 17th. We usually have it the week before every year, kind of late for us this year.

Re: YOUR local school district spring break

Our district gives good friday and the day after easter off, that's it. If we have unused snow days, they will be added, but since they have used 6 of the 11 days already, I don't think they'll have any extras this year.

Re: YOUR local school district spring break

We don't get one. Since we don't incorporate snow days into our calendar they are off for Good Friday till Tuesday after Easter, but no week off.

Re: YOUR local school district spring break

We have two weeklong breaks... one is in the second half of February, and the other is in the second half of April!

So much for "New Jersey Week"

Re: YOUR local school district spring break

We are the the 1st week of April and that is when we are going to WDW and on a Disney Cruise!!!

I can't imagine a district having to spring break at all!

We get out the third week of June!!! It's horrible! I have always wanted them to just give us one single week of vacation for spring, and then let the poor kids out earlier in the summer. They are totally not getting a thing out of school by the time the end of June rolls around! The town pool has been open almost a month by that time! Can you imagine???

Re: YOUR local school district spring break

yeah, that would be bad! we used to start after labor day, but it seems to be getting earlier and earlier. i think it won't be long before they try for year round! (we have it at 2 schools in the district, but they are the only ones so far)

I have even heard from some teachers that a ton of the kids are just totally checked out by the time summer rolls around. And the homework load completely stops by the end of May, so three more weeks in June is nearly a total waste.

When I was a kid, it was very clear -- you started the Tuesday after Labor Day, and you ended the Friday before Memorial Day. Simple! And it made for a great long lazy summer!

Re: YOUR local school district spring break

Our spring break is April 3 - the 14th. We used to have a "mid winter recess" in February, that was a week long, but now, its only 2 days. :(
