How much time off for Winter Break?

[SassyTachyRN]

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.

Whoa.. I also have a week in February, 3 days for Easter (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and "Easter Monday') assorted other days like MLK Day and Memorial Day

A FULL week in April...

but we go until 6/24.

Pretty much the same here.

We leave at noon on 12/18. Well, the nurse and kids leave at noon on 12/18. I imagine the teachers stay the remainder of the day to finish up final grades which is why I LOVE being the school nurse...no grade cards!! Faculty and staff return on 1/4 and kids return 1/5.

This is the first year we have a winter break and it's a full week!! February 15-19. I'm pretty stoked!!

The winter breaks in Feb are because of Snow. Historically, those are the weeks with the highest average snow fall. The Christmas breaks are so short because there are usually so many snow days, that, in conjunction with Feb break there would be School until July.

Kids are off for 2 weeks. Not District and not 6 months yet so I can't use vacation. So I got Christmas and New Year's off because of the holiday. So I have to take 30th and 31st off no pay because of the wedding. Blah.
