Snow Days in May? They're Almost Here

There was no snow, so no need for snow days in Plainview: Beginning Thursday, local kids are off.

Plainview educators have decided to put its three unused snow days together beginning on Thursday to create a very long Memorial Day weekend.

Not all districts on Long Island, where snow days were non-existent last winter, did it this way.

Plainview students will be off beginning Thursday (and they won't have to turn their pajamas inside out on Wednesday night!) Students won't return to classes again until Wednesday May 30. School ends just over three weeks later, on Friday June 22.

If I were a kid, I'd love the idea, especially at this time of year. Patch wonders what local parents think:

Richard, I agree. This road has so many potholes that were fixed, it dips and the county trees haveRead More lifted it up in areas that now hold water. I have ben living here for over 30 years, and I cannot recall it ever being done. It needs to be done soon, I so agree with you. Maybe Mangano will see this and do something, then again if we lived in Bethpage, it would of been done already.
