| Thanks, so the children only get one vacation period in a year, or are
there other short breaks too?

| There are longer breaks at Christmas (usually around 2 weeks, depending
when the national holiday falls) and a one or two week break in March
(depending on whether or not PD aka Professional Development or Bob Rae
Days have been scheduled.) Then there is the odd long weekend thrown
in - October/Thanksgiving, April/Easter, May/Victoria Day .
HTH,

| Aside from the summer vacations, my kids are off from about December 22
to January 4 and anywhere between 5 and ten days in mid March (one of my
kids had 10 days and the other two 7 days). They also get 6 or 7 PD
(Professional Development) days off. These days are scattered over the
school year. Also, in high school, exams are spread out over two weeks.
My kids are semestered so they write about 4 exams during that two
week period. Hell, I think they spend more days out of school than in
school!

| Thanks for the replies folks..it helps with some investigating we are
having to do for the future.
re -1 I know how you mean. My daughter (currently schooled in UK)
gets 3 weeks at Easter, a week in May, 9 weeks in the summer and 2/3
weeks at Christmas. I only wish I got as many days vacation -
arranging child day care for over 5's here can be hard work!

| ohh..I forgot to ask. The Personal Development days - are they for the
children, teachers or parents? Its an interesting concept.
Thanks again,
Jackie

| PD days are for teachers. There seems to be a trend where PD days are
scheduled to coincide with long weekends. I wonder why? Other days
off for kids include parent/teacher interviews. At my youngest child's
school, these go on for two days. And let's not forget the field trips.
Field trips can be anything from a visit to a museum to a three day ski
trip (that was the case with one of my kids this year).
