Snow Day = School on Saturday
So, Emily is in a year-round school. We love it. She goes 9 weeks then gets 3 or 4 weeks off. Her "track" gets these 3-4 week vacations in September, December, March, and June. It's nice because she doesn't have these long periods of time with no school, and we can take vacations when most other kids in the country are in school. Like our trip to Disney World last September. No lines, it was awesome.
Anyway, one of the disadvantages of the year round schedule is that there is NO room for make-up in the calendar. When Emily tracks out for 3 weeks, another group tracks in. The school is 100% full of chilfdren all year except the week of July 4th and the week of Christmas.
So, because school was cancelled yesterday (due to snow) and today (due to icy roads), Emily's make up dates are this SATURDAY, and Saturday, April 4.
Why April 4, you ask? Well.... see, this is the last week of school for kids on track 2 (or 3). Which would mean they'd have to come in for school on Saturday the 31st in the middle of their trackout. I guess April 4th was the next available Saturday (after this Saturday) that all three current tracks will be tracked in.
Crazy.
Sorta takes the fun out of a snow day when you have to make up the date on a Saturday, doesn't it?
