September 4th up here for my 11th grader! :teach:
My daughter is no longer in school, but the kids in our area start back Sept 4.
I'm a teacher at a charter school and our new students come back August 24th and our returning students come back August 27th. (I go back the 20th and I also feel unprepared!)
Schools in our area start August 22.
Schools in my area started on the 13th and my kids in a different district start on the 22nd.
When I was just on vacation near Gatlinburg, TN, they said there kids start August 2nd. YIKES!!! That is early!
We always start the day after Labor Day. They have tried to start earlier to increse the number of days kids are in school but they have not been successful.
We started back on August 6. It was a very short summer for us :(
My Neice and Nephew went back to school yesterday. I felt a bit sorry for them as we finally have some sun here in Scotland but I think they were both glad to go back and see their friends
We go back Monday August 20th...
Tuesday after Labour Day here. Our kids are grown and finished school now, but the buses will be coming by the house soon, so we always know.
Ontario has toyed with the idea of year-round school with several shorter vacation periods throughout the year. They have been thinking about it since I left school and yet nothing has been done about it. I don't think there is the political will to face that elephant in the room, plus the fact that all the schools would have to put in air conditioning since it gets so hot here in the summers. No one wants to face paying for that bill.
We home school and do school year round, but we count down the days till school starts in town because we enjoy a fall trip and going to parks and Legoland when there's NO CROWDS!!!
All that happy talk just to say that kids here start school August 27th.
Most private schools in our area go back sometime after Labor Day (typically that Tuesday after) and depending on which public school system you are in but they all start sometime between 8/27 - 8/31. Don't know why but some of our public schools start on an official day different than the others. It's not a set day across the state.
We are just West of St Louis and our local schools started this week. I don't have any kids in school ( they are adults ) so it makes it really quiet.
Kids in our Parish (County) Stared on the 10th.
Sept 4 and I'm counting down the days :blush:
Thursday, September 6th....:mickey:
My kids went back to school on Friday, Aug. 10th. They are now almost finished their first full week of school!
