I thought the idea of 'yeshiva week' was to standardize vacation times for all yeshivas.
My suspicion is that modern orthodox and affiliated ones have one coordinated week off.  The rest of the yeshivas each does what they want, without asking anyone else.

BYBP put one date on their calendar then sent notices 2 weeks ago that its a week earlier and claim to have notified in September in the spam newsletter they send out via email that it was changed to this week.

So they belatedly realized they should have vacation during 'yeshiva week'. Good for that. Bad that it was done belatedly and not graciously.

Why does it need to be your kids? Why not yourself?

They lied and tried to cover up. I frankly dont care. I booked all my kids for 5 days off for a long weekend next week, when their grandparents go to Miami.

BYBP is cutting edge these days, with smartboards and other technology too. You just cant have a TV.  ::) ;D

Of course. The school calendar is sent out together with the school supply list in the summer

I will go back and look. But either way if it was then it was buried in a 10 page newsletter.

So I gather that MIA will still be full of "Yeshiva Week" folks this week? Flying down with my kids, though their 3 day midwinter vacation was last Wednesday-Friday.
