Thanksgiving vacation starts at the end of the half day on Wed Nov 25; school resumes Nov 30. Winter vacation starts after Fri Dec 18; school resumes Jan 4. Mid-winter break starts after the half day Fri Feb 12 and school resumes Wed Feb 17, so Feb 15-16 are off. Spring vacation starts after Thu Mar 25; school resumes Apr 5.
