Compare School Calendars

For fun and interest let's compare when school begins and ends and where you live. I live in Georgia. The last day of school for Summer was Friday May 27th but it goes back on Monday August 1st. It is my understanding that in some places school goes back after Labor Day and goes later into June. Please tell where you live. Again in where I live in Georiga it ended May 27th and goes back August 1st.

In Michigan where I'm from, they start after Labor Day and go till the first week of June. Maybe longer depending on how many snow days they have to make up.
In Florida where I live now, school got out end of May and will resume in early August I believe.

Bucks Co, PA (southeastern).....

Last day is June 9th. (usually it will go a week longer). The first day this year is going to be Sept. 2nd. It depends on when Labor Day is and sometimes it starts before.

When I was in school (NYC & NJ) it always went well into June (sometimes to the very end of the month and always started after Labor Day.

I also live in GA. My daughter is in High School and school really started to wind down the week of May 16th. Not everyone had finals or a regual test. For my daughter, her tests were over, her last day of school was May 19th. The principal sent out an email that it's up to us whether to send her to school or not, there wouldn't be any problem if we didn't. If she went, she'd just be sitting in class on her phone or watching movies. But, technically, our school disticts last day was May 25th. First day of school will be August 8th.

N. East Texas last day was May 26th and first day for Fall 2022 will be Aug. 18th. I have never understood the end of the week start days. I guess by the first Monday everything is pretty well sorted and ready to learn.

MA. It differs by town and private or public but generally, school starts the last week of August to after Labor Day. School ends mid to late June. My two son in-laws teach in different towns. Last day of school is 6/22 for both.

Growing up in Calif. We were out of school mid June and always went back day after Labor Day. I thought everyone did this, it makes sense. In Nv the part I am in they got out first week of June and will gobake August then for some reason we have a fall break in Oct. which makes no sense to me, then every Weds, is half day which makes no sense. Sometimes kids have too much out of school time which can make it hard for working parents.

Don't have kids but I looked at our district calendar. School starts Aug. 10. I think it ended sometime middle of May. Some schools go back at the end of July sometimes. This is Arizona. They have so many days with no school or half days the summer is no longer 3 months.

I live in PA. Public school begins the day after Labor Day in September. The last day of school this year was yesterday, June 9. Snow days affect the schedule but since COVID shutdown, students now have laptops to use at home for snow days. Private schools vary, they usually begin earlier and end earlier (a week or so difference).

I work for a public school district in Northern Delaware. The last day of school was June 9 and the first day is Monday, August 29 except Pre K, their first day is September 6. Now that all students have computer access due to the pandemic, only one day is given off for snow. All other snow days are made up with asynchronous on line learning.

Here in N AL schools got out on May 25 and go back on Aug 3. They get too many breaks now. They get a one week fall break in OCT, Christmas from 20 DEC till 3 JAN and then a week of Spring Break in March. I'm so glad my daughter graduated before all that started. Her grades always dropped after Christmas break. She would've never made it if I had to deal with 3 breaks every year on top of summer.
