Buckslayer Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 How many of had the first day of rifle season off of school when they were younger? Here in PA its the first monday after Thanksgiving, and it was a school holiday "Deer Season Opens". Not all schools do this in the state, but most rural or suburban schools do.

Tominator Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: First Day of Rifle Off? Same here in Ohio, and no, we never got it off. The school system where my kids go give that Monday off. Curiously, even though we lose about 15% to 20% of our student body on that Monday, we still have school where I teach.

It's an "excused" absence if mom or dad writes a letter saying their going hunting with them, otherwise it's not excused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG_BUCK_1 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: First Day of Rifle Off? we don't get off for that but we might as well because half of our school hunts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: First Day of Rifle Off? I always took it off but my basketball coaches weren't very happy about it. The school district next to mine always had the opening Monday off because they could not find enough drivers for the school buses.
