| Legend
* Jewish, Baha'i and Islamic Days begin at sunset of the evening prior to the day listed.
** Certain Hindu and Islamic Holy Days cannot be definitely determined in advance as they begin when the new moon is sighted.
*** Ramadan involves a month of fasting during daylight hours. Sensitivity to the impact that fasting may have on students especially during hot weather may need to be exercised.
Source: Interfaith calendar
In addition to these days from sunset Friday until sunset Saturday is the Holy Day of Sabbath. For some Jewish students this means that work (including field trips, exams or assessments) is not permitted. For Muslim students sensitivity to their need for regular prayer times especially on Fridays may need to be exercised. |
