What about October 9, Monday? School no school?
I just want to ask why the 1st makeup day changed due to a few high class people having holiday plans and not thinking about the ones that may have plans in May right after school is out? A Calendar is usually made for the reason of planning. Christmas is on December 25th on the Calendar but someone may have something else to do so can we change it to be in January? Just saying that may want to stick to what is written and not what you want.
