I had this happen to me on my first year. I booked holidays around the July 1st holiday, expecting to be paid. Of course not one parent did. I was such a newbie and I never bothered mentioning it. The next year, I took the same week holidays. I sent a notice home with all parents stating "July 1st (paid stat hoiday) July 2-5th (unpaid vacation days)" that was I was breaking it down for them to clearly see that my stat was paid.
