I've taken my daughter out of school the past couple years and haven't had any problems. We spoke to the principals office first though to give them a heads up and feel out if it was going to be a huge problem or not. We put in a request at least a month in advance with her teachers to try to give us as much school work for the week that they possibly could. We did most of the school work before we even left for vacation and some on the plane down.
All that being said I'm not going to continue to take my daughter out of school because she's gonig into 4th grade this year and I'm concerned she'll miss a lot more than the prior years. We have been lucky though with school not having any problem with it and my DD didn't seem to suffer academically at all from missing the week. I think it's worth mentioning that we did bring back a little something for the teacher and the principal like a Disney travel mug or tin of popcorn or chocolates. It's a nice touch and the teachers appreciated it.
