This is an important holiday weekend in most of Latin America. In the US, Easter is a fairly important religious holiday, but it doesn't involve days off, normally at least. In Catholic Latin America this is Semana Santa, Holy Week, a lengthy celebration. For many it is a 4-day weekend, including for the faculty and staff at my school.
Monday adds to it, it is 'Teacher Day' and after this 4-day weekend we will start our day with an assembly (or momento civico). After this we have classes until noon and then the students head home. At 1:30 we have a formal lunch at the auditorium for teachers. So, in the end we teachers will be at school for all day, but we will only teach half a day.
At my wife's school, though, they have Monday off, a 5-day weekend.

I need a different schedule!
