"This is a reminder that some JCPS employees and students will observe religious holidays in March. Please share with colleagues.
Purim (Judaism): March 6-7; Jewish employees and students might be unavailable for evening activities on Monday and might be absent on Tuesday.
Holi Day (Hinduism): March 8; Hindu employees and students might be absent on this day.
Naw-Ruz/Nowruz (Baha'i and Persian New Year): March 20-21; Naw-Ruz is the Baha'i New Year's Day and coincides with the spring equinox. Called Nowruz, it is also celebrated as the Persian New Year in the Iranian community and many other Asian communities. Some employees and students might be absent during this holiday or unavailable for evening activities.
Ramadan (Islam): March 22-April 21; The exact date of this observance may vary by a day or two depending on the lunar cycle. Every year, Muslims engage in a 30-day, sunup-to-sundown fast called Ramadan. During this fasting period, it might be difficult for Muslim employees and students to participate in some activities, especially during the evening."
