HOLIDAY SCHEDULE FOR NONCUSTODIAL PARENTS

• Holidays include any "snow" days, teacher development days, or other days when school is not scheduled, contiguous to the holiday period.
• Holidays take precedence over the weekend parent-time, and changes may not be made in the regular rotation of the alternating weekend parent-time schedule.
• Birthdays take precedence over holidays and extended parent-time, except Mother's Day and Father's Day. However, birthdays do not take precedence over uninterrupted parent-time if the parent exercising uninterrupted time takes the child away from that parent's residence for the uninterrupted extended parent-time.
• If a holiday falls on a regular scheduled school day, the noncustodial parent shall be responsible for the child's attendance at school for that school day.
• During the time a child's school is in session, at the election of the noncustodial parent, parent-time over a scheduled holiday weekend may begin from the time the child's school is regularly dismissed at the beginning of the holiday weekend until 7 p.m. on the last day of the holiday weekend.
• During the time a child's school is not in session, at the election of the noncustodial parent, parent-time over a scheduled holiday weekend may begin at approximately 9 a.m., accommodating the custodial parent's work schedule, the first day of the holiday weekend until 7 p.m. on the last day of the holiday weekend, if the noncustodial parent is available to be with the child.
• A step-parent, grandparent, or other responsible individual designated by the noncustodial parent, may pick up the child if the custodial parent is aware of the identity of the individual, and the parent will be with the child by 7 p.m.
• Elections should be made by the noncustodial parent at the time of the divorce decree or court order, and may be changed by mutual agreement, court order, or by the noncustodial parent in the event of a change in the child's schedule.
