We are proud to share that this petition has reached over 1,000 signatures. The response makes it clear how strongly students, families, and educators feel about this issue. This is not a minor scheduling concern. It directly affects attendance, student focus, teacher workload, and families’ ability to spend meaningful time together during the holidays.

If you have already signed, the most impactful thing you can do right now is continue sharing this petition. Please send the link to family members, friends, classmates, coworkers, and parent group chats. Post it on Instagram or Snapchat, share it on Facebook or Nextdoor, stories, and encourage others to add their voice. Every additional share helps keep this momentum going and ensures this issue stays visible.

We also encourage supporters to leave a brief comment explaining why this change matters to them. Personal experiences related to travel plans, family commitments, teacher workload, or student stress help decision makers understand the real, human impact of keeping school open on December 22 and 23.

As support continues to grow, we are asking the district to take this feedback seriously and respond openly. The community has spoken clearly, and we are committed to advocating for a fair and reasonable resolution that reflects the needs of students, teachers, and families.

Thank you for standing together and helping push this forward.
