Dear Parents,
As our second school break swiftly approaches, it's hard to believe how quickly time flies between Thanksgiving break and winter break! I wanted to outline our break procedures for your convenience to ensure a smooth departure and return process. Please take a moment to review the information provided below, especially noting the departure days designated for specific sports teams.
For all breaks, we arrange for a charter bus to facilitate the transportation of students to and from their travel destinations, which include Portland International Jetport, Portland ME; Logan International Airport, Boston, MA; and South Station, Boston, MA. The detailed bus schedule, encompassing departure times from the school and estimated arrival times for students, is provided below. To reserve a spot on the charter bus, kindly complete the form and make the necessary payment at this link: https://www.hyde.edu/student-life/transportation. Reservations for Winter Break will close on Wednesday, December 13th, 2023.
Should the charter bus times listed above not align with your student's travel plans, please remember that parents will be responsible for making alternative arrangements for their departure from and return to campus.
Listed below are the specified departure and return dates for students:
Winter Break:
Departure - Friday, December 15th
Return - Wednesday, January 3rd
Spring Break:
Departure - Friday, March 1st
Return - Monday, March 18th
Please note that there are adjusted departure dates for students participating in boys' varsity soccer and both boys' and girls' basketball. Return dates for these students will remain consistent.
Basketball (Winter): Plan for departure either on the evening of Sunday, December 17th or the following day, Monday, December 18th.
Basketball (Spring – NEPSAC Tournament): Plan for departure either on the evening of Sunday, March 3rd or the following day, Monday March 4th.
If you have any further questions or require additional information, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to ensuring a safe and hassle-free break period for all our students.
Warm regards,
Sydney Wall
Assistant to the Dean of Students

Are you interested in hosting an international student over break?
We have over 40 international students from 14 different countries on campus! In the past, we have had an outpouring of support from domestic parents who have hosted a student (or 2!) over break. If you or your student has an interest in opening your home to a very grateful kiddo, please reach out to me at swall@hyde.edu!
