Christmas has no requirements regarding fasting, prayer, etc.,

Perhaps your Santa-Claus/Rudolph/NFL-football Christmas has no special requirements, but my birth-of-Jesus-Christ, the-Savior-Christmas requires a special mass or church service, a feast, and gift giving to the needy, and often an additional evening service.

LOL, good luck finding any of that in the Bible God wrote. Maybe you have one of those new-fangled ones by somebody that thinks they're smarter than Him.

I am a Christian and according to the Bible the only requirement is faith in Jesus Christ.

BTW, I attend church 2-3 times a week, give to the needy and I don't watch football.

That would be a concern if any student in this country had to be in school on Christmas Day. Ramadan overlaps with normal school days.

Actually during advent, aren't there still fasting days? No meat on Friday?

Of the observances you listed, which specifically is scheduled to interfere with the school day?
