Hanukkah / Chanukah

Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday that commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the 2nd century BCE. Beginning on the 25th of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah can fall anytime from late November to late December. It is celebrated by lighting the menorah, sharing traditional foods, and honoring themes of resilience and hope.
Headwaters School respects the diverse religious and cultural observances within our community. In alignment with our handbook policies, students will not be penalized academically, socially, or athletically for missing school due to the conscientious observance of a religious holiday. Absences will be excused with prior notice to the Attendance Office, and students may make up any missed work, tests, or assignments without penalty. Faculty use a Religious Holidays calendar when planning major events, and the school strives to avoid scheduling required activities on widely observed religious holidays. Please see the handbook for more details for your program.
