I'm curious about the dates school starts in the rest of the country. Even before I had children, it depressed me for school to start before Labor Day. Now it starts before the state fair. Today I talked to a teacher that says they are starting August 4!!! Anybody else start that early?

In Western New York it is after Labor Day. But we stay in school untill the end of June.

Out here I believe it is the Wednesday before Labor Day.
I think they do it this way so the kids first 3 weeks are only 3, 4 and then a 5 day week LOL Break them in gently :wink: or maybe easing the Teachers back in? :D:D:D

I noticed on one school board that said August 8th.

Dallas students go back Aug. 22.

We go back on August 15th - the kids come back on August 18th

my kids go back Sept 8th.. but like others said we are in til around june the 20th........

Our school starts August 17th.

My oldest starts this year and it seems so early. I wish it was just a little bit later, but with snow days and ice days... I guess that it is good that they start this early.

We start September 6th but we also don't get out until the end of June

Aug 19here
