I don't think it's ideal but the school board needed to balance their budget and this was the result...sigh.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867964298149410340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14288806.post-19542234972822722182008-02-07T13:41:00.000-05:002008-02-07T13:41:00.000-05:00I found your blog via Blog Explosion :).I live in ...I found your blog via Blog Explosion :).<BR/><BR/>I live in MS so we don't really have "snow days" lol. My kids get the typical holidays and occasional teacher work days. Usually we only have parent/teacher conferences if a child isn't doing well in school. <BR/><BR/>I am glad you are getting settled in VA. I always hate moving. But now that we've bought our own place hopefully, we won't have to do that again lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14288806.post-63047030931812947592008-02-07T09:51:00.000-05:002008-02-07T09:51:00.000-05:00We never had it that good when I taught in VA.

We did all the teacher workday stuff after school too. <BR/><BR/>I lived in Virginia Beach and we had a really big snow one year and then an ice storm over it and the transportation crew couldn't take care of it, had never seen anything like that, so we were out an entire week until the stuff could melt. Then we had a few more snow days here and there and the school calendar didn't have a such thing as a snow day in it so we had to go to school on Saturdays for six weeks to make it up. <BR/><BR/>Six day school weeks really suck. <BR/><BR/>At least the kids are getting eased into the all week school routine after the move.andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936122859722777328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14288806.post-40563808090479711832008-02-06T22:12:00.000-05:002008-02-06T22:12:00.000-05:00But only for two weeks because then we have a 3 da...But only for two weeks because then we have a 3 day week and then spring break..<BR/><BR/>then a 4 day week...<BR/><BR/>then we have one full week the week of 4/7 and then 2 more 4 day weeks...<BR/><BR/>but know that we go all of May with only one day off... :DHeather {Desperately Seeking Sanity}https://www.blogger.com/profile/00243388362771376897noreply@blogger.com
