2024-2025 Partial List of Religious and Cultural Observances (Occurring during the Academic Year)

The Public Schools of Northborough and Southborough is a culturally and religiously diverse community. While the schools are not closed on all religious holidays, it is the intention of the District to respect religious and cultural days that are significant to the students, families, and staff. The following list, although not exhaustive, includes many holidays that may require a student to be absent from school. Students who miss schoolwork because of an excused absence, including absence(s) for religious observance, should not be expected to complete homework, study for tests, or do other schoolwork during their absence(s). They shall be given the opportunity to complete assignments and tests within a reasonable time, based on the circumstances. These absences should be managed in the same manner as absences for other excused reasons, including informing the school of the absence, talking with teachers about the absence(s) and missed work, etc. (Religious Observance Policy – I 340).

Please contact The Public Schools of Northborough and Southborough with information about any religious day not listed below for inclusion in future lists.
