Dec 7, 201510 yr How much time off do you get for Winter Break? I saw another school nurse post in another thread that she gets a week off and it got me curious... I get two weeks off. Dec. 17th is the last student day. Dec. 18th is a staff work day. We are off Dec. 19th until Jan. 3rd. Come back Jan. 4th.
Dec 7, 201510 yr Our last day is Dec 16th and the students return Jan 6th. I'm not working the flex workdays in Jan. Seven more school days!!
Dec 7, 201510 yr Not quite 2 weeks. We get out of school on Tuesday Dec. 22nd and come back Jan. 4th. I am counting the minutes!
Dec 7, 201510 yr 1st day off for CHRISTMAS BREAK is 12/24, 1st day back is 1/4.Let's call a spade a spade.Winter Break is in February.
Dec 7, 201510 yr Expert 1st day off for CHRISTMAS BREAK is 12/24, 1st day back is 1/4.Let's call a spade a spade.Winter Break is in February.EXACTLY - there would be no break this time of year if it weren't for CHRISTMAS! Our school calendar designates the last two weeks of December as "winter break." It's so wintry here in South Texas this time of year we frequently have to turn the air conditioner on. It's Christmas Break! Christmas Break! Christmas Break! There, I kept saying it until everyone agrees with me now. I feel better.

"Politically correct." [emoji12] We don't get any break in February. In fact, after this break, nothing again until Spring Break.
Dec 8, 201510 yr We get a whole week for Thanksgiving, 2 weeks for Christmas and then get a Thursday through Tuesday in Feb for Winter break. I LOVE this job! The winter break was built in snow days last year...of course it snowed us out after that break so we ended up going a week later in June :/ oh well still love it!

The winter break was built in snow days last year...of course it snowed us out after that break so we ended up going a week later in June :/ oh well still love it!I really wish we had some sort of break in February or so. Come then, I am dying for a break again. We usually get a lot of snow days in Feb. so that's my reprieve. The kids get very anxious come Feb-March too and need a break. It's too long of a stretch for them to go without a break from Jan-April. [emoji53]
Dec 8, 201510 yr I grew up in areas of the country (dad was in the military) that did not have a February break. I have one now and boy do I love it!! It really breaks up the time from coming back after "Winter Holiday" Break until spring break.That being said, our last day is Dec 22 and we come back January 4, which also happens to be my son's birthday. He's not impressed that we go back to school on his birthday. Sorry kid- if you were born in early February like you were SUPPOSED to be, we wouldn't have this issue!!
Dec 8, 201510 yr 1st day off for CHRISTMAS BREAK is 12/24, 1st day back is 1/4.Let's call a spade a spade.Winter Break is in February.This. We call it Christmas break here (or holiday break if you want to be very PC). Half day 12/23. Back 1/4. That's the Northeast for you. I'm planning a Vegas trip during my Feb break .
