Hello:
That is very unusual. That is not even a school day nor is attendance usually mandatory on non-school days.
I would look up the District/school policies on religious holidays and see if you can request one. I would also simply ask why this is not on a school day? Maybe the Principal or Superintendent can step in and alter the date.
