[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 401024, member: 805"] Hi Janet, Like Susie, when I was in school all our extra days were built into the end of the school year. Do you remember the sniper a number of years ago that traveled between here and Difficult Child? Some of our area schools were closed when the sniper made his way here. Additionally, we had an unusual hurricane that made it inland and closed schools, due mostly to major power outages. The city school system send out letters telling everyone of the "Saturday School" decision to make up the lost time. So many parents complained that the system did an about face and extended the school day by 30 minutes for like 2 months. It worked out much better. I would imagine that Keyana is not the only child in the district who has activities on the weekend or whose parents already had plans (especially given the long weekend). I would bet they will be lessening their "excused absence" pouchy. Janet, as for you, remember this is the time of the year that is the most difficult for many folks. The let down of the holidays, the darker or dreary days, more time inside.......but, just like the guarantee of spring, you will come out of this. Keep those thoughts positive like you always do!
