I am trying to collect data on different school schedules. If you happen to know when your school will begin for the fall session this information would be very helpful. Please post what city and state you know about and the school start dates.

Thanks!

We're on a "Modified Traditional" schedule here in Hemet, CA.
School starts the last week in August and ends after the second week in June. There are more days off than "traditional" throughout the year. Weird, I know.

Pretty close to Emmy, except we start mid August and go through the third week of June. Lancaster, Ca.

We get three weeks off at Christmas, another three in Spring (had three weeks off, went to school four days, then had four off for Easter!) It's weird, it's ridiculous. Kids get a minimum day at least once a month, and usually one full day out once a month.

Texannie, we are in the vacation rental business and are trying to find a market for our off season rentals. Not everyone is on the same schedule so perhaps we can offer some great deals to someone who has the time to vacation!

Thanks for everyone's help!

Consider too Dee there's still some schools on year round schedules. While a good portion of our elementary and jr highs are now modified traditional we still have quite a few that are year round.

It recently became law that all schools in Michigan MUST start after Labor Day. We already go to June 9 -- so we're looking at adding time to our day to avoid going into the third week of June.

It's law here in Texas that they can't start till after the 20th of August, but the districts apply for waivers and the legislature grants them!

I'm not sure Dee. I just know around here talking to friends and family members and comparing when our kids in different schools are in and out.

Nope- it's 10 weeks TOPS (try fitting two classes into that schedule - and then DON'T laugh when people tell you "you get your summers off"! LOL) :-)

Part of our district's scheduling issues revolve around no double bus runs and the many, many miles our district covers. We have 4 outlying elementaries and cover over 200 miles. W/no double bus runs, drop off times have to be "coordinated" and a couple of our elementaries actually get an extra day off because their days are so much longer than those of us "in town." We start at 8:13 and get out at 2:55 -- but some of our elementaries are starting at 8:05 and not getting out until 3:20! That's a significant difference.

We're going to a trimester schedule at the HS next year (much against our will), so that's going to throw a whole new kink into things. Don't even get me started....

Appleton, WI (Appleton Area School District)
Sept. 5 for middle and high school
Sept. 6 for elementary

This year they went from Sept. 1 and they will be done June 1 for some schools, June 9 for others. One district I sub in doesn't really have a Spring Break (just a 4 day weekend) and they're the ones that get out a week earlier. Some people are not happy graduation is on Memorial Day weekend.

Teachmichigan, that sounds crazy!

My daughter will be starting kindergarten this fall. Is it true that she could be having lunch as early at 10:30am?

Oh yes -- we have a neighboring district that has 3 lunches -- the first at 10:45. It's lovingly referred to as "brunch." However, that particular school starts at 7:25 -- so it's actually about halfway through their day. Our late lunch now is 1:00 PM -- so if you figure kids arriving at 8:00 -- that's a pretty long time until lunch. The wee ones, though, get snacks so the school may have an afternoon snack if they have an early lunch.
