[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine will no longer be a student by then, but I like those end dates.

It's never made sense to me why our kids go so long.

For reference, my nieces in CA started school 08/12/2024 and get out 05/22 or 05/23/2025. They started only a week and a half before, but they get out 3 weeks earlier! And their school days are much shorter as well. I believe they start (in high school) at 8:30 and get out of school at 2:45.

My sister's kids in AZ started Aug 7 and will get out on May 22. School starts at 9 and gets out at 3:30. The kids can come from 8:30-9 for free breakfast for all, too.

Going 9:30 to 4:20 is such a long day and I hardly see my HS kid. She's always still asleep or just getting up when I leave for work, so at the most I see her for 15 minutes before school. I get home at around 6 and she doesn't get home from after school sports/activities until 7 or 8 or later if it's a game night. Then it's HW, studying, shower, and dinner... it's all a blur. I stayed with my sister in AZ recently while on a work trip and it was so calm after school, and they always got to eat as a family because sports and activities were all finished by 7 pm if not earlier.

We go long because we build in a lot of denominational holidays that other school districts around the country don’t. We have to add in days for the Jewish holidays, Muslim, and Hindu holidays in our calendar. This stretches us further into the year to hit the required seat hours. [/quote]
