Starting to worry about my Saturdays

School was cancelled again for tomorrow because the city I work in doesn't know how to plow.  There is talk of school on Saturdays or losing one of our vacation weeks.  I really don't want to lose my weekends.   I need to read my contract really well.  I know I shouldn't whine because I have summers off and vacations but people don't truly understand what it is like being trapped with a room full of 10 year olds....for mental sanity, I need time.   Sighhh...done venting now.

Re: Starting to worry about my Saturdays

  • I'm not too worried about Saturdays yet.  I think it would only come to that for us if it jeopardized graduation.  We have enough extra days built in so far that we don't have to worry about Saturday make up days.  I am losing President's day off and one day of our (already short) spring break. 

    In Ohio we have had 5 snow days for as long as I can remember, but last year the governor reduced it to 3.  The new governor (who started this January) wants to go back up to 5, but that has not been passed yet.  So we already have 2 days to make up.

  • We are up to 6 and I dont think we have any built in.  The way this winter is going, they are talking getting rid of vacations and possibly half day saturdays.  I just wish they would decide

  • Oh wow!  I would not be happy.  Our school corporation does not have any snow days built in which is so weird to me.  We have had four snow days thus far.  We will be losing our last two teacher record days so we only have two more days to make up.  They will vote on it sometime within the next couple of weeks, but my bet is that they will just tack them on at the end of the year.  Any other days off we have are all federal holidays so not much else we can give up. 

    Hope you don't have to start working on Saturdays!  Keep us updated!

  • In PA, Saturday isn't even an option...it depends on the district how they handle making up snow days, my district tacks them onto the end of the year...But we also have a law that without strikes the latest students can be in school is June 15.  Of course if there are strikes you lose vacation days and can go until June 30.  When I was a student my district was in school until June 15 one year and 30th one year, but we've gotten out in the first week of June every year I've been teaching...
