Hi -
For those of you who live in colder climates - have you ever booked a trip immediately after school ends? Did you luck out and not have any snow days?
We are only two years into our school years - 1st year = 0 snow days, 2nd year = 1 snow day. Not a lot of history to go off of.
Trying to determine our 2019 dates and would like some experience/words of wisdom.
**I should add - because of our work schedules, we need to go as early in June as possible. If not June our only other choices are mid-August (HOT) or taking our child out of school.
Thank you!
For kids in the early elementary years, yes, I'd likely do it, if I were okay with my child possibly missing out on some of the end of year activities at school. We did it when my daughter was in 4th grade, and she missed out on Field Day, which is a big deal here.
For older kids, I would not, because if days get added on to the end, those are the days when final exams are held, as well as those end of year activites, which are an even bigger deal for the older kids, esp. if they are receiving awards.
In our area, snow days typically add 4-10 days onto the end of the year. This year, we had 8 snow days to make up.
