Religious and Cultural Observances
The Northshore School District Religious and Cultural Observances Calendar serves to recognize and spread awareness about the religions and cultures that are represented in the District. This aims to expand the awareness about the multiple forms of diversity among our students and families, the days that students may not be at school due to religious observances, and the days that students may be fasting.
