I'm actually getting married in February....but it will be PResidents Day Weekend with the Midwinter Recess following

ME TOO! And I am taking off the week afterwards as well. I'll need more time! I also teach summer school and the salary is too good to pass up. I'm also not a fan of the heat and I'd be miserable if the a/c conked out on us during a summer wedding.

We are getting married the Sunday of Columbus Weekend, but I don't have that Monday off but the good news is that I have tenure so I'll take a few days off. We are going for our official honeymoon in December though.

I am getting married in April a week AFTER our Easter break. I figure having off the week before would be good for finishing those last minute details. It is also my first year teaching and going back to school so it should be a hectic and crazy year. As well as memorable.
Good Luck!!

We didn't.

I took of the first week of school. My principal took it well. Life cannot revolve around work. I wasn't going to plan our wedding around my work schedule.

Do you need special approval- cause it doesnt sound like you teach in a public school- is it done differentely?

You're right, I work at a private school in Brooklyn that 'frowns on' taking any personal days off...they're not even thrilled when we call in sick. 3 months before the end of the school year, we were all called into a meeting to tell us that the school had used up it's substitue budget and we shouldn't call in sick if at all possible. So, being in my 2nd year, I decided not to make any waves with the new (again) headmaster...I guess you have to pick and choose your battles and I think I was just too tired that day

My FH is a teacher and we are getting married the Saturday before Thanksgiving and taking our honeymoon right away. He is going to be at a new school in September and their response was 'we'll work it out'
