Senior Skip Day - in the Fall?

We only have senior skip day in the Spring. Some teachers make a big deal about how anyone skipping will get in trouble, but my experience was that the general culture is that it is acceptable and the teachers will let it slide.

Around here, it is used as an attendance incentive in the Spring when senioritis kicks in. We are only allowed a set number of absences before there are serious repercussions, and teachers will say, “now I know the weather is going to be really nice tomorrow, but remember if you use up all your absences you won’t be able to skip on skip day!” I’d gotten a nasty flu at the beginning of winter term and missed a lot of school, and I was a madwoman about making sure I had no absences after that so I could have skip day.
