[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 401011, member: 1233"] I am sorry you are feeling so frazzled, but at least you can recognize it and you know that help is coming in terms of medications. Do whatever calms you and try to avoid triggers. When I was a kid OK did not put bad weather days in until the year we had almost 10 days out for problems. Not snow - ice and mud. Lots of our kids were rural and lived on unpaved roads and there was NO way that they could get to school on the muddy days. Then we had flooding. Our days are always added at the end. We actually often get extra days off at the end of the year because we don't use all the built in days. Teacher work days are a contract issue. They are set in stone with the contracts the teachers sign and often the schools pay large sums of money to pay for seminars and lectures on those days to provide continuing ed credits that are mandatory for teachers. These cause HUGE flaps with the unions if they are even thought of being changed, so the school has very few options there. They probably do not want to keep the building open for another week or so at the end of the year so they are adding makeup days on Saturdays. Parents should be given a LOT more notice though. parents here would MUTINY and there would be almost no attendance esp because our bus drivers are not contracted for weekends. I am willing to bet the dance classes will be changed because Keyana won't be the only child in the class that has to attend school on those Saturdays. If not can you pull her out early for an 'appointment'? Or would that set a bad precedent and/or cause a problem with the school? I hope you feel more yourself soon! [/QUOTE]
