When do the schools (K-12) in your area start? |
|
They don't start around here for at least a month yet the stores have had the supplies in stock since probably late June (if not earlier).

We don't really get three months off... we didn't get out until mid-June. Not that I'm complaining! LOL

I can't remember the exact date. Most stores will start "Back to School" in at least the middle of June.

10. year rounds started yesterday! |
|
Modified year rounds can start anytime after now; Traditional starts mid Aug. I don't remember exactly 'cause we're moving to WI and school starts there after labor day.
Of course that's for my PS younger son (public schooled) - for my hs (homeschooled) son - learning takes place 24/7/365! :rofl:

I know Staples is having some super "early sales" on school supplies this week. I just bought a bunch of those black and white composition books just 'cause I like them.
Schools around here have been starting in July!!! But the FL legislature recently passed a law to stop that, I think.

12. There have been many parents in this area arguing for later |
|
starts because "kids don't get enough vacation time." They used to start in mid-August, but this year it's the last week of August.
I don't have kids, so it doesn't make a lot of difference to me, but my sister does and wishes they'd keep it in mid-August.

17. Most schools start after Labor Day |
|
but some do start earlier, it depends on the district on the state. It used to be mandatory to start after Labor Day, now it is optional.
