The winter break is intended to be a time that is

free from schoolwork for students and staff. There
should be no expectations on the part of students
or staff that schoolwork is done over this period.
No assignments should be given over the winter
break, and any long-term assignments given
before winter break should not be due during the
first week back from the break.
