Okay, I just went on Wake Co. web site & noticed that there are make up days for missing school today.

For year around schools the make up day is this Sat.??? I never heard of such a thing---do the kids really go to school on Sat. & I'm assuming it is for the same time as a regular day? I guess so much for week-end plans. I'm sure the teachers/staff can't like that either.


I'm sure I'll get information on the make-up day tomorrow when he goes to school, but, just thought I'd ask.

This would be the first time I've seen Wake do a Saturday make-up day (but we haven't had many too make up in the past three years) but I know they seem common for other districts.

Due to some issues (not weather), a high school in Granville county had something like 3 or 4 Saturday Make up days in a row.

year round schools have always had make up days on saturdays.....it's because they can't mave make-up days durring other teacher work days because the teacher work days are often different for the different tracks...so staturday is the only option

Yes, that makes sense...I guess it just sounds odd to have a 'school day' on Sat.
