We start before since it is private.
We have the normal holidays off but have 2 days off in October for the Union meetings.
22 years-I have never been there.
There is never a schedule that will make everyone happy.
Thanks Lew. It is a struggle and getting worse. My old district had guns brought to school 3x this year. No one is really taking responsibility for it. One was at a old friends school. He did not report it. District swept it under the rug.

You're not the first teacher I've come across who said they're also seeing this, and it's a terrifying trend.

Heard the same in many districts in Phoenix, as can be imagined in a city of 5M. We are in an A+ school district but it seems to be happening everywhere.
Lots of charter schools here but we are doing good old public education in a good school district. There's something to be said for interacting with all kinds of kids.
