<p>“They may, but the only day they current policy addresses is move-in day–when there actually are no classes. There are no accomodations for any Jewish holiday on any other days. So cancelling classes for Lunar New Year is a different kettle of fish.”</p>
<p>So why can’t there be 2 consecutive move-in days? That’s what my kid’s school does. Most everyone moves in on day 1, but it’s not a crisis if you don’t get there til day 2.
Or, let kids who would be affected move in early along with RAs or athletes or the “welcome wagon” kids who get there for new student week. I’m used to late starts but pushing to October really seemed dumb.</p>
