Many students end up missing school and important school events in order to honor their religious practices. 海角社区 encourages districts not to schedule significant school events on major religious holidays; this conveys to all students that they are a meaningful part of their school communities and that their religious traditions matter.

海角社区 encourages each local education agency to educate themselves on the religious traditions of the students and communities they serve, strive to honor all religious communities, and work to be inclusive of all students. School personnel can use this calendar when responding to student requests for excused absences for religious purposes or when planning events such as curriculum nights, field trips, state testing, school or team pictures, dances, and hearing and vision tests, etc.

Please contact our Equity team to recommend corrections or additions to the calendar.
