Hi Suez,
how about putting the number of days next to each 'chunk'?
Or just listing the individual days in each period , followed by the day children are expected back?
btw, you've written you're off 24th may and that children are due back :)

hope this helps,
best wishes,
Wendy:)

Haven't checked your dates, but surely you are allowed more than your normal 4 weeks cos of bank holidays (8 of those a year) :D .

Personally I put mine in a newsletter and said I was closed on these days

Download a free calendar from the internet and mark off your days off. Very easy to work it out, I got confused by above and know from feedback from my parents that they were too and requested a clearer method.

I tend to download the local school dates calender from the local council website and mark it on there and give a copy to each parent.

I download a copy of a calandar and mark on my holidays in a highlighter pen. I also highlight school training days, bank holidays and the parent's holiday once I have been told.
