[quote=Anonymous]Option A, with a caveat.  My kids work hard all year and are checked out after June. The last 2 weeks of school is always such a slog. And it is about to get worse, since the oldest kid hits APs this year. The last month of school is enrichment and not core curriculum.

I like the shortened winter break, because most years we go back and hit more federal holidays (MLK and Presidents Day), end of semester TWDs and bad weather closings and late days. Two years ago, we went 8 weeks in a row without a single full week of school in December through February. There are plenty of built in winter breaks without taking 2 weeks off at Christmas.

BUT, I don’t love the earlier start either. Last summer was tough, because DC1 was out 10 Days, did TJ summer school, and two days later started marching band.  I am not up for a second shortened summer in a row.

There should be an option for late August start, early June release, 1 week of winter break and 3 days at Thanksgiving. [/quote]
