April 9-17, floating, usually covers Passover and Easter, will split into two breaks if necessary based on the calendar. Here on Wrong Island it varies by district, but many follow the same general principle.

Good idea!

For responders: Could you please note if the spring break for your respective grade schools is "fixed" or "floating". If it floats does it float for a reason? ie K thru 12 schools here in Rockland County, NY cover Easter and Passover when possible.

Then we can compile the data as we did for the summer break schedule and place it as a sticky on the 4Ms for future reference.

Volunteers for that are welcome!

Ann Arbor lines up with the University of Michigan. Usually a winter break fixed in week 8 (though in 2010 it is week 9), plus a floating spring holiday that is generally the week after Easter. The University doesn't get the second week.

Schools in our county are currently negotiating a fixed spring break, which would decouple it from Easter week.

When we figure spring break for DW (teacher-small private school) we go March 14-21. It is usally that week, but like I said, we figure Saturday to Saturday as that is usually a timeshare week.

We float.

I am happy when it's away from the Holidays-easier to travel-though it does align with Holidays every couple of years.

This year is 3/23 to 3/27 or with a Sat timeshare check in 3/21 to 3/28

I am in So Cal-but we are all over the place out here. Some Districts are year round...some traditional...some modified traditional. The four major cities right here where I live are all on different schedules.

I guess I'm no help

Palm Beach County FL.... 2009 Spring Break is (school days) March 30 - April 3. Going to Resort on Cocoa Beach!

Dates float. Has to do with dates/scheduling for FCAT testing now. Easter/Passover are not important as FCAT scores determine school funding.

Games schools played to secure more and more days of school prior to FCAT testing finally resulted in a law having to be passed to restrict how soon the new school year can start! Naturally that has caused several other major issues to arise. Geez.

Anyway... March 3- thru April 3
