4.305 Holidays & Scheduled Days Off
Holidays and Work Calendars
Holidays are observed according to the official LCS school calendar. Any deviations or exceptions are specified in individual employment contracts. An employee’s designated work calendar determines their scheduled workdays and non-workdays.
10-month hourly employees are not paid for holidays and non-working days unless expressly authorized by the Executive Director.
12-month hourly employees receive paid holiday compensation for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
HOLIDAY PHILOSOPHY
The school will emphasize the scriptural and spiritual elements of holidays such as Easter (the cross and resurrection) and Christmas (the incarnation of Christ), rather than the secular elements (Easter Bunny and Santa). The school is not “against” secular images and symbols. These are matters of personal conscience and Christian freedom for each family. LCS chooses to de-emphasize secular elements in its recognition of holidays. Halloween will not be celebrated at LCS. Other holidays (President’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Saint Patrick’s Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, etc.) shall be observed consistent with the spiritual and academic philosophy of LCS. Interpretation and application of these holiday observance guidelines shall be the responsibility of the school administrator.
