Spring Break Survival Guide

Are You Ready for Spring Break? Traditionally the spring semester tends to be a long one. Whereas fall semester is broken up by a myriad of holidays and celebrations, spring tends to be that looooong haul until summer.

Speaking as a former public school teacher, I can attest to the panic my colleagues expressed when the academic calendar showed very few holidays between February and June. Trust me when I say that teachers and students alike can benefit from a spring break.

As a parent, you might be wondering otherwise. In my travels, I’ve encountered both parents who look forward to the time together and those who quiver in their boots, unsure what to do to keep their children occupied.

If both parents have time off from work, you may want to plan for a true staycation, aka vacation at home. If one parent – or both – has a regular work week ahead, you may need activities to keep the kids occupied while they enjoy a different schedule, but you do not. If you’re a stay-at-home or homeschool parent, this guide will provide a way for YOU to bust out of the norm as well.

Spring Break can be more than just a respite from packing lunches and waiting in the drop off line!

No matter how your family makes your way through a school year, the Spring Break Survival Guide will help you enjoy this spring break to the fullest.
