Find the school’s actual dates
Record the last school day and the first day back. If siblings attend different schools, check each calendar. Avoid assuming the break is exactly two weeks.
Separate celebrations from care blocks
A family gathering on one afternoon does not necessarily determine all the surrounding nights. Specify which dates are a proposed visit and which are the agreed care period.
Resolve the middle and the end
If the break is divided, choose the exact exchange time and location. Check the calendar-year boundary and confirm which regular week follows the break. Include transport for a child who is traveling.
Check both years in CoFam
A break may begin in December and finish in January. Review both sides of the month boundary after entering the dates, including the first school-day handoff. Keep unconfirmed travel outside the settled plan until it is agreed.
Should we split the break into equal halves?
That is one option, not a universal rule. Work from your family’s arrangement and the actual school dates.
Why does the January week matter?
It shows how holiday care reconnects to the regular rotation.
