I get a week, but I have to take two personal days. I'm not a teacher though, work for a company.

I think I get the entire month of January off. I've been lead to assume that. Yet when I ask anyone at my PS, I can never get a straight yes or no answer.

I was originally going to fly back to Canada that month but it has been cancelled, so I'm assuming they don't want me to come into work.

*Fingers crossed*

Awesome! Your public school let out 2 weeks early! My PS last day of school is December 24th. I'm hoping go to Seoul for 4 or 5 days over Christmas weekend as I've been couped up for over 3 months doing the same routine and feeling a bit of cabin fever to get out and do something fun with all this free time coming up. I'm looking forward to lots of freetime and then when I start really teaching again, it'll be Spring, not so cold, and getting well into the new year with Summer only a few months away.

I think I'm off any time there isn't a camp, but only been told it's Winter break with the attitude that they weren't that concerned about what I'm doing except during 2 weeks of Winter camps.
