Feb 2010 school vacation?

[DisMomme]

What state are you in and do you have a February school vacation?

In Maine and Mass it will be the week of Feb 15-19th. I believe New Hampshire is the week after - Feb 22-26. So what state do you live in and what do you do with your kids during vacation?

We leave next weekend for our trip and I'm trying to get an idea of how crowded it will be. We usually go in August - the last 2 weeks - but this year DHs parents and my parents wanted to come and they don't do well in the summer heat.

No scheduled vacation here in Anne Arundel County, Md (just President's Day Monday off) but due to the blizzard, we're going to be out all week this week, I'm sure.

This may be a dumb question but why do y'all get a February school vacation?

The college I work for is out two days for Mardi Gras next week (the 15th and 16th, I think) but dd is not out of school . We have spring break in March and then another two days out for Easter and that's it for the year.

We have a winter break on the 15th and 16th. Teachers have to take a furlough day so they added the 12th so the kids have a long break. Then, our spring break isn't until the first full week of April. No more breaks after that.

South West Michigan: My kids have Mid-winter break Feb. 12 and 15. I looked into going to Disney then, but the airfares for those days were much higher!

ohhhh. No furlough days yet here. and we don't do staff development days either, our entire district gets out early one day a week to take care of that. Only major holidays, a week for Thanksgiving, Christmas break and Spring break here.

We're in NY. I think a lot of it is that we are in school until the last week of June. We get one week in February (midwinter break) and another week near the end of April (spring break). No breaks in March for us except maybe a teacher inservice day when the kids are off but teachers aren't.

In Georgia. Our system is off 12-15th. We are only having a half day of school on the 11th with the rest a teacher workday. We will only have our week of spring break and then the last day of school May 21st. We go back to school the first full week of August. No August trips for me.

From MA. kids are off the week of the 15th. We'll be leaving for Disney the 10th, coming home the 18th.

Many schools districts around the country have a Feb break. The unofficial dis poll will give oyu an idea of crowds/breaks.

BTW: not all GA schools have a Feb break--some counties do and some don't.

Because the districts really like to inconvenience working parents

I wish they would nix the breaks and end the year sooner.

Sounds like we may live in the same school district.

Here in south east Michigan we have winter break the week of Feb 15th. Unfortunately, we'll just be hanging out here in the cold!

I'm in Florida and we have no February break. We have February 15th off, but that's it.

I'm in SE MI and we're out Feb 20-28. Our break always ties into the local university's Spring Break.
