Are you ready for a turkey bash? Collier County Public Schools confirmed that it’s students and staff will have the entire week of Thanksgiving off this year.

Nov. 20 and 21 were possible designated Hurricane Make-Up days, but Collier County Schools said they will remain days off.

“Based on the district’s accumulated instructional time during the first semester, we will not need to make up the August 30, 2023, weather-related closure,” said Collier County Public Schools in an email.

Students were off on Aug. 30 due to Hurricane Idalia. The county declared a state of emergency beforehand.
