[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at the calendar for next year, you will see a lot fewer days off- most of the holidays happen to fall on a weekend next year unlike this year. Hence, the extra days.  Enjoy them. [/quote]

And yet somehow despite that we are still getting out super late in June. [/quote]

It's because Labor Day is September 7th and we start two weeks before like we have recently. The last day for students is mid June.[/quote]

We used to start the day after Labor Day and end around Jun 10, give or take a bit. Now we start 2 weeks before Labor Day and end around June 15 give or take a bit (which pushes it to the 3rd week instead of 2nd week of June).  [/quote]

When I was in FCPS (late '90s, early '00s) we started after Labor Day and ended around the teens of June sometime. I hated missing the best weather of the year to being in school. Plus we all felt like we missed out on AP preparation time compared to kids who started in early August.

Now kids have the worst of all worlds.[/quote]
