[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why we don't start earlier in August like everyone else? Most other school districts start around August 15th. That way the quarter ends could all be aligned with school holidays, too, most notably spring break.[/quote]

I would love to start earlier and align breaks in a more consistent fashion. I posted this calendar (from my old school district) on a different thread.

I wish more people would push for this type of calendar.[/quote]

As if 2 weeks off in the dead of winter is not enough, you want 3 weeks?! NO THANKS. [/quote]

Actually, I would want 1 week off in October, 3 days off at Thanksgiving, 2 weeks off for winter break, 1 week off at the beginning of April, and a 9-week summer.  And all of those school-year breaks (except for Thanksgiving) should align with the end of the quarters.  The school system (and community) provides lots of different childcare options (from cheap to expensive) through SACC (or Rec Pac) type camps. enrichment camps, sports camps, etc during the summer and off weeks.[/quote]
