fall break

October school pause

Fall break is a short vacation from school in autumn, typically lasting a few days to a week.

Common in American colleges and some K-12 systems, it usually falls in October or early November: I'm going home for fall break.

The timing often coincides with midterms or Indigenous Peoples' Day weekend.
