No School on Columbus Day in Various U.S. School Districts

As Columbus Day approaches on October 14, 2024, several school districts in the United States have announced that schools will be closed in observance of the holiday.

In the Valley View School District, for instance, schools will be closed on Monday, October 14, to mark Columbus Day. This closure is part of the district’s scheduled holidays for the academic year.

Similarly, St. Thomas More Cathedral School has also declared October 14 as a no-school day in honor of Columbus Day. This ensures that students and staff have the day off to observe the holiday.

In Community Consolidated School District 62, while the specific mention of Columbus Day is not highlighted, the general practice of observing federal holidays suggests that schools would likely be closed on this day as well. However, the district’s calendar primarily focuses on other significant dates such as the start and end of the school year and other scheduled breaks.

These closures align with the common practice in many U.S. school districts to observe Columbus Day, providing a break for students, teachers, and staff.
