When do your kids go back to school?

[bronxgirl]

I hesitate to write this b/c we are only in our second week of summer break and I don't want to think about summer ending, but anyways, when do your kids go back?  DD starts first grade on September 9th.

IN 3 WEEKS! July 29th.

[redheadk]

August 31. Counting the days!!!

September 8 - Canadian signing in. We never return before Labour Day and it's SO weird to me that some schools in the US are starting up again in July/August.

DS1 starts transitional kindergarten August 11th at the local elementary school.

I'm probably going to have a baby right around that time - so I've been totally focused on that and haven't really given him starting a whole new school much thought. Oops!

DS2 starts preschool September 1st.

August 19. The school district moved the start date back by two school days this year so we can have a week off at Thanksgiving rather than three days.

I am sort of torn as to how I feel about them going back. It is nice to not have four kids under foot all day long and arguing/whining about random stuff but I am rather fond of my kids and I enjoy them when they are being nice/non-whiny.

Sept 9, I think. The Tuesday after Labour Day.

They just got out on June 25 though

September 4. It's so bizarre to me that we're returning before Labor Day (and the Friday before, which is also weird) but Labor Day is late and there are so many other days off in the beginning of the year that it's the only way they could do it.

Aug. 3 here. Ridiculous.

[cajunmom]

August 7th. We are always early and I'm surprised to see someone even earlier than us.

[cjeanette]

August 10th

Our local schools start on August 5.   Happy that we've got a few years before we have to worry about this!

Aug 12. Which I thought was ridiculous, but July 29?! Is that an all year schedule or something?

[matildasun]

A will go back on August 31. I go back on the 25th.

[cinco]

August 19th.

DD starts the last week of August bc her charter school does an extended school year. Otherwise, most of the schools around us start at the same as bronxgirl's DD.

In what states does the school year begin in July? That would really mess with my head. Growing up, our school year was always Sept-June.

DD starts kindergarten on 8/19. DS1 P-3 after Labor Day, I believe. I have two conflicting schedules but the website is saying the week after Labor Day.

[nannersp]

August 18

[lindsaymg]

August 24th

[zarapipe]

I think 8/19

[mrsGreeko]

[InBetweenDays]

September 9th. They got out for the summer on June 16th.

[lishie]

DS1 starts August 31.

DS2 starts September 4 (one full day with his class before Labor Day. Why?)

[meltoine]

8/13

[zeewifeandmama]

Whoa! Kids here just got out June 23rd.

[mlvmd]

DS1 starts kindergarten on 08/31. He is so excited.

This explains why all the stores have back to school ads.

I grew up in CO and our school year (after my elementary years when it was still more of a Sept to June year) was late August to Mid May. But I think that has moved up in recent years.

Around here its still Sept to June
