The graduation thread on this site made me think of this topic.  I live in Georgia on the outskirts of Atlanta.  Here, the last day of school was May 26th and school goes back August 1st (yes, you read that correctly, goes back August 1st).  Here this has been the norm for a good many years.  When I saw the thread about graduation here in the middle of June it made me think about this, since our school have been out since May 26.  I would be curious to hear what school schedules other areas of the country has. Please comment and include what State you are in.

Upper Midwest- our school lets out the first week of June and the kids go back right after Labor Day. I think summer school is offered for a few weeks in June.

When my kids were in school in RI they would always start after Labor day and end sometime in June.  In the northeast we have to make up "snow days" from cancelled school due to snow storms and that would add days to the month of June.  More recently they start the last week of August and end within the first 2 weeks of June.   It always has differed depending what part of the country you are in.

Here in Southeastern Wisconsin, my grandkids were finished June 8th, and they go back September 5th.

They used to start at the end of August, but changed it. I am so glad they did!

Southern WV; 1st day of school was August 26th, seniors graduated on June 2nd, last day for students was June 6th.  This is the norm for this county.  

My teacher daughter now works in an adjoining county in a year round school; she likes the frequent breaks compared to a long summer break.

@LindaSal I work in a school district in Northern Delaware. Since the pandemic and the advent of virtual learning there are no more snow days.  The students and teachers get one "snow day" where there is no school per year, any additional days where the school buildings need to be closed classes  will take place virtually.  Of course winters have been mild the past three years so this hasn't happened yet.

@RedTop How many breaks does she get and how long do the breaks last?

Schools here in my town start on August 29-30. The last day is June 12 (depending on how many snow days are used. Could be a few days longer). So. Maine
The start dates in August are relatively new. We used to start after Labor Day. The businesses were up in arms with the new start date. They rely on the kids to work in the stores and restaurants during tourist season. Starting early means the kids are no longer there during the week.
