Default When do your kids get done school?

So the summer bedtime question got me thinking that my daughter is probably the last one to get out of school in the world - LOL. She goes until June 21 this year because we have 3 snow days to make up. She does stil have field day and her step-up day to the Junior High but they are still doign full-throttle classwork.

Wow June 21..when does she go back in the fall?

DS goes to a private school..so we get out earlier than the county schools. His last day was May 9 and he goes back Aug. 8..so we get 3 full months for summer.

The official last day of school is June 8, but the boys are done already!! JP has to do a read-aloud with his teacher tomorrow (over the phone), but that's a whopping 15 minutes of our day.

Our summer here in the UK is much later in the year. The school I teach in breaks up on July 15th and we go back on September 6th. This week we are off on holiday for half term then we have another 7 weeks!

I think when you go back to school is somewhat regional. In the northeast and mid-Atlantic, it's pretty common to go until late mid or late June and go back just after Labor Day. I may be wrong, but I think warmer areas of the country tend to get out earlier and go back in August.

My elementary schooler gets out June 21st (and that hasn't changed due to snow days) and my preschooler will be out a week earlier. And our last day is 2 or 3 hours, too.

It's always been June 23rd the official last day around here, even when I was little. Kids go back officially the Tuesday after labour day. It's a good thing, since summer is late here.

She goes back on August 31 - always the last Wednesday of August.

You are right Rachel - up here in the tundra LOL the summers start later but the past few years the weather has been wonky and May has been bringing 75+ degree weather - it was 87 here yesterday, which is so unusual! Anyhow, DS went to schools mostly in So. California and South Carolina/Virginia (we were stationed at Camp Pendelton, Camp Lejeune, and Quantico a lot) and he was always out by mid May.

My boys got out last Wednesday (the 25th), which is actually a little later than usual for us. They go back August 2 or 3 for a half day orientation and then start back full time the following Monday I think.

I've lived in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Virginia. They've all had summer break from June 20-something until just after Labor Day, so the May to August summer break seems so early to me!

This friday is our last day, so this week is pretty much field trips and parties. I can't remember exactly when they go back, but it's either the last week of August or the first week of September.

I believe we are out on June 21st. I really prefer that school doesn't start until after Labor day, I'd much rather have a long summer with the kids. It's still cold here. So it definitely works in this neck of the woods!

Our county's last day is June 7, though originally it was June 8. Not sure what happened there except we didn't take as many snow days as the neighboring counties so maybe they rewarded us. Neighboring counties get out June 10 but should have been out June 3, due to those pesky snow days.

We go back Aug 24th. Neighboring counties go back Aug 18 I'm in VA, we always go back before labor day so we get longer fall & spring breaks

Technically the girls last day of school is the 30th, but that's just for an hour to get their report card. Their last full day of school is the 24th.

My son's done June 17th and they go back the last week in August. We don't get a very long summer vacation, but we have lots of week long vacations throughout the school year, pretty much one every two months.

Ours is June 9th and they go back Aug 22nd. I would love for him to go after Labor Day instead of August. Although come August I may change my mind after having him home all day every day LOL!

Today. They'll go back middle of August. I'd really rather they go a few more weeks and start later. It's sooo hot here in August and they go outside for recess.

Last day of school is June 15th, and its a half day. We go back Aug 29th, though the parent teacher stuff starts the week before. I find that basically it all starts the third week of Aug. So we get off two months. The rest of the off base schools go year round though.

I'm in central Virginia, around Charlottesville. I've lived here 16 years, but only paid attention to the school schedule the last 8-10 or so. They might have been going back after Labor Day 10 years ago when I first started needing to be aware of it for doing scheduling at my job (lots of teens worked summer & holidays there), but I know the last 7-8 years it has been the week before or even two weeks before for Greene, Albemarle, Madison & Culpeper, plus Orange & Rappahannock some of the time.

There started to be a lot more single days off for various teacher work/training things around that time & I think they start earlier to make up for them & something to do with snow days as well.
