Word required for a situation

[Tom]

Hi

Is there any word for the time when a school closes for students--I mean, can I say "off-time"? Do you find the following correct and natural?

.
In the US, we use expressions such as summer vacation, spring break and semester break. It depends on why the school is closed. When there is a lot of snow, we just say that the 'schools were closed' or that the kids had 'a snow day'.

This might be a sentence you'd hear, for example:
Come see me after spring break.

Hi Tom,

In my small island we would say: Come and see me when school's over.
