Do You Want to Eliminate the School February Vacation?

Posted

This year the RI Superintendents Association voted unanimously to eliminate the February vacation (Winter Break) in the 2015-2016 school year. The extreme weather we have had over the past several years has resulted in students going to school late into the month of June. The warm classrooms in late June are not conducive to learning.

In looking ahead to the third week of February in 2016, there would be no school on Monday, the President’s Day holiday. Students would attend school on three of the remaining days of the week and the fourth day could possibly be a professional development day for teachers and certified staff.

The school department is seeking your feedback on this change to the February 2016 Winter Break, as well as the possibility of moving the April vacation (Spring Break) to the last week of March or the first week of April. The information that you provide in the survey below will offer valuable insight as the district considers how to move forward in the best interests of our students and all members of the school community.
