Less than 50 days away!

Mellie32 — Sun, 07 Apr 2019 20:46:15 GMT

Summer vacation is almost here.

If you're a teacher - when do you get out? If you're a parent or grandparent, when does your child get out of school?

I love the last part of the year when all of the fun things happen. It's been a tough year for me so I'm excited for it to be over, but also excited about the end-of-the-year events.

June 10-Monday, pupil free day.

June 7 Last day with kids.

It has been a rough year with these kindergarten students-so many who do not respect adults so I am VERY happy.

June 10th - ugh. I hate having to go into June. We're out at the end of May almost always.

Friday, May 24: Last day of school for students

Monday, May 27: Memorial Day!

Wednesday, May 29: Last day for teachers!

Our school system is on a "balanced calendar" and our kiddos start back on August 1 for 2019-20 school year. We have week long breaks during the year in September,(Fall break), November (Thanksgiving), December (Winter break: two weeks), February (mid winter break) and April (spring break).

We are finishing our spring break for this year, today, so "back to the grind" tomorrow!

I teach 1st grade and I am having the same type of year. Next year will be year 27 for me so 4 more years until retirement!

@Mellie32 At first, I wasn't thrilled with it but I have grown to like it over the years. It is nice to spread out the weeks off. Summer is so hot anyway, might as well be in school. Vacations can be taken on weeks where it may not be as crowded in Sept and even Feb.

@Mellie32 It will be here before you know it! Keep the faith!

This is the first time I am joining the community chat.

Last day is June 7.....retiring after 44 years. I have mixed feelings. Still love teaching but Kids have definitely changed as have parents. Plus, so much pressure on test scores that the fun activities have been pushed aside. Have taught all primary grades. Last 20 or so gifted language arts and reading but gifted qualifications have been diluted. This year 1st grade and 2 nd (am and pm). Not easy. Good luck to all who have many years left.

My son finishes May 22. He has the same teacher for English and math. They don’t like each other. It’s been a long year.

My kids are done on June 14. As a working parent summer becomes a very stressful time, I don't look forward to it at all.

Just went on a early field trip with my son last week.

Went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.

Fun place to visit, had a great visit.

Kids are done school here in early June.

Can't wait for summer vacation.

My son works hard and gets great grades, proud of him.

Yes! Fond memories of field trips there. Loved the gigantic heart exhibit that you could actually walk thru!

Wow, if kindergarten students are not respectful, I can see a whole lot of trouble in the years ahead for the teachers. The world has changed and not for the better.

God Bless all the teachers. No matter which way you turn, you don't get the respect you deserve.
