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

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.

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.

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?


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.

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

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