DCPS starting on 8/31 next school year

[Anonymous]

According to their twitter feed. I’m glad it is out so early but that seems like a late start.

When will the school year end? July?!

And do they not realize that pushing the start back a week means another long thread here on whether the missing week amounts to a paycut?

Thanks for the heads up’

Thanks for the laugh. Good times, DCUM, good times.

Ugh.

An 11-week summer. Great. Last summer was 10 and I think previous years were just nine.

Welp there goes the family budget I had just reworked.

As the tweet says, the rest of the calendar is tbd. They will probably curtail winter or spring break to keep school from sliding too late into summer.

What am I Missing? This is consistent with last year: the Monday before Labor Day (which is late next year, Sept. 7, 2019).

And if the last day is June 19, then it's a 10-week summer, not an 11-week summer....

Let me try that again without the typos....

Argh, you're right. 10-week summer. Carry on.

Actually, I'm not. PP is right; it's an 11-week summer. Well that sucks.

Last day of school is June 19 (assuming no snow-day makeups), so the following M-Fs will be summer break:

June 22-26
June 29-July 3
July 6-10
July 13-17
July 20-24
July 27-31
Aug. 3-7
Aug. 10-14
Aug. 17-21
Aug. 24-28

I count 10.

Wow. I have one kid in DCPS and one in a private and their summers will almost match.
Great for our family but I sympathize with everyone else.

I think they will drop the Feb. break with this late start.
