Here’s When Winter Break Begins for El Paso Students and When Classes Resume
Dashing through the doors
For a weeks-long winter break
All the kids they go
Laughing all the way
It's almost time for El Paso schools to shut down for a long winter's nap, leaving parents to find ways to keep their kids busy and out of trouble for at least 2 weeks.

93.1 KISS-FM checked district calendars to find out when kids get turned loose for the holidays and found most students will begin their Christmas vacation when school lets out on Friday, Dec. 17.
The majority of students will drive their parents nuts with cries of "I'm bored," and "there's nothing to do" through the first weekend of the new year as most don't have their first school day of 2021 until January 4 or 5. "Only two-and-a-half weeks? I wish winter break was longer," said no parent ever.
