April 2005 school break?

[Stimpy]

I'm trying to plan our vacation for next year and don't want to take DS out of school again. (We're taking him out for 6 days in December)

During DS's orientation for kindergarten, the principal of the school mentioned that since Easter and Passover are so far apart that year, we are having a short 3 day break in March and a week in April. Is anyone else having a similar break from school? Are the schools off the week before Passover Sunday or the week after? Since I already put down a deposit, I'm really hoping for the week after!

None of my neighbors with kids in the school already know the answer to this. I'm going to have to call the school Monday and hope they'll be able to give me the info.

NYC public schools will be closed for a week during Passover.
We only have one day for Easter (Good Friday). We're out the week of April 25.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, and I don't mean to offend anyone, Is Passover more than one day? I really don't know alot about the Jewish Holidays, but I do know this is a very important one. The only calendar I have available only says that Passover is the day of April 24, 2005. Thanks again!

Does your school systen have a web site? If it does there should be a calendar on there with all the vacation days on it. At least that is how it is done here. They put the calendar for the next school year on the web around Feb.

I don't know, everyone around here is off the week after Easter since Easter is so early. Then back into school until Memorial Day.

We will not know till the school sends the 04-05 calendar to us in mid August what the holiday dates will be.
