Public schools have to adhere to federal standards when it comes to holidays - this means Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving and most other days the post office is closed.

As part of the state government, public schools are typically closed for all federal holidays, including MLK Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day. They also get a winter and spring break. If state workers aren't off on a federal holiday, then the schools in that state usually aren't either. Private schools decide on their own days off.
