Mine have been off this week, and go back Monday. They always go back the Monday after Easter, no matter when Easter falls.

My daughter in college had hers March 12th-21st. My kids in middle/high school don't have spring break, we get out early in June instead! They sometimes have a 4 day weekend that is around when the teachers have to work on grades, and that happens to be this weekend. They are snow make up days, but we haven't had any snow closings this year so the kids are off!
It's so nice because this is the only holiday weekend where we don't have to travel to visit relatives. So nice to spend time at home and the kids can see their friends!

It falls around the week of March 15th most years.
This year it was a little confusing--some schools in the area took the first week of March, others the second week and some the third week of March.
It has been many years since it was scheduled around Easter.
Good Friday is reserved for a "make up for a snow day" school day. This year we had not snow days, so most of the schools were closed yesterday.

Our school schedules two make up days for snow days after Easter. We used no snow days, so we have a five days weekend (Friday-Tuesday). If we use Snow Days, we lose the Spring Break. It really sucks because DH is an educator and we can't plan anything since we could always lose the time off school. I hate the calendar committee.

Ours started on Thursday and goes through next week! This is the first time in the last 2-3 years that we're actually getting the whole time and not losing days to make up for snow days!  |

It is just coming to an end. The kids are back in school Monday. Usually it begins the last Monday in March but this year it is a week earlier. Schedule change is due to a construction project at the school.

Spring break here for the county schools was this week.. Its not always the week before Easter though, or even the same week.. I have no clue why it varies from year to year but it does(sometimes it depends on if a lot of days were missed because of snow, they'll start stealing days off of spring break)..but yeah back to school on Monday for my 17yr old.

We don't have Spring Break as such. Our school holidays at the end of Term 3 fall on the last week of September and first week of October, which is one month into Spring.

We started pretty early this year - Aug. 28th I think. Our last day is June 2nd. They are so concerned with the state exams, so they are adding days to the calendar each year. |

This week. Yay!
In years past, it's happened the week before Easter. I prefer it this way, with the break falling after Easter.

Ours is April 18-22. We do an end of February break, then a week in April. Feb is always a week and a half because we get town meeting day (Tues. the following week) off and then return on Wed.
Ours are not set to Easter. It's always the last week of Feb and third week of April. We go until the 9th of June with graduation on the 11th.

Just curious... I am a teacher, and my county recently changed to a set Spring Break. It is now always the first full week in April, regardless of when Easter is. Spring Break has always been tied to Easter for me, so it's very strange (to me) to have Easter this weekend, but another full week of school before my Spring Break! Guess that's what happens with an early Easter. When is your school's Spring Break this year? Most schools in my area switched to this arrangement 5 or so years ago. It seems silly to be off for Good Friday and Easter Monday, then go to school for four days and then begin Spring Break. It's even sillier this year due to changes in our state testing. Seniors go back to school for one day after spring break, then have two days off while everyone else has testing. |

We're in the middle of ours (independent school). As a church musician, Holy Week is busy and a little stressful. Having Easter fall in the middle of break has been awesome: I had the first week off to prep everything for the four days of services (Thurs-Sun), and now the coming week I will actually relax (at least that's the plan!)
Ours is usually the last two weeks of March. It's really hard on me if break ends with Easter weekend, because invariably I am wiped out and useless the Monday after Easter. Heading back to school that day is brutal.
Public schools get a week off in Feb and a week off in April instead of the two weeks together.

Mid-March for us. My youngest who is at a private school is also off 1-2 days before Easter and the Monday following. Out of the last 2 weeks he has had 3 school days.

Last full week of March. It is never tied to Easter, but sometimes it falls on that Sunday.
