We get email today from the principal notifying us that Dec 1, the
monday after T'giving, is now a school day whilst before it was a day
off.

I give up. I'll just send the kids to school when I feel like it, and
the heck with the calendar.

Seriously?? No district I've ever taught in has made school calendar
changes
once the calendar is voted on A YEAR IN ADVANCE at the board meeting.

The only changes made mid-year that I've heard of are due to excessive
amounts of snow days. Usually they will change the last day of school and
sometimes (very rarely) change a vacation.

What is their reasoning?

That's crazy and unfair. Just curious, is this a public or private school?

I'm with Jenn, our calendar is also voted on and made available a year in
advance. This is really outrageous. What does the school board say?
(And at this late date they've got to be kidding if they think they won't
be missing large amounts of students. Everyone has their Thanksgiving
travel plans down, and no one is giving up non-refundable tickets for
capricious school schedule changes.)
