The XYZ (company) doesn't provide you day off on the occasion of festivals.

Tom's son is at home today because his son didn't have to go to school today. The school is closed today so it is his off today.

Please check my sentences.

So do we say children also have their day off or two days off from school?

Tim didn't go to school because he has a day off today. Tim will have two days off at the weekend.
