| Spring Break 2017: Date Change
St. Michael's tries to keep our vacation dates aligned with the independent schools in Richmond. Recently, we learned that some of the other independent schools were planning for different Spring Break dates for the 2016-2017 school year. Thus, we have decided to move our Spring Break dates for next year from March 13-17 to March 6-10.
For planning purposes, the following major dates have been set for the next School year. - August 29, 2016: Middle School orientation/ First (half) day of Lower School
- November 23, 2016: First day of Thanksgiving Break (No School)
- December 16, 2016: Last (half) day before Christmas break
- March 3, 2017: Last (half) day before Spring Break
- March 6-10, 2017: Spring Break (Note: THIS IS A CHANGE in the proposed calendar.)
