It's back to school time for teachers already. I'm in the Deep South. We go back July 28; kids come back on August 4. I can't say I'm ready yet-I know lots of teachers are excited, but I'm not there yet. I will be happy to work as I love my job, I'm just not ready for the schedule.
Anyone with me? When do your kids go back to school?

In the UK most kids have only been on holiday about a week and don't go back until the first week of September. Hope you enjoy your final weekend  |

I *think* that the boy goes back to school around the 18th? I know that I have been told, but for some reason the dates rolls in one ear and right out the other. The boy knows, so he will remind me when my participation is required.  |

My kids go back Aug 7 as well. When I was a kid we got out the first week of June and went back right after Labor Day. I really wish it was still that way! DD is looking foward to school being back in, but DS not so much.

I have another week. I go back on the 4th for meetings and back to school night. Kids come back on the 5th.
I need to get off of here and head in to work on my room, but I am being lazy.

We don't go back til the Wednesday after Labor Day, September 3. Teachers start a few days earlier. Seems far off, but it will be here before I know it!

Where I live school doesn't start again until after Labor Day. When I was still in the classroom, it took me all of June and part of July to wind down from school, and when the calendar turned to August I'd start to have those school nightmares again -- I forgot to show up for school and no one is there to teach the class.  |

This is my schedule too. We will also have meetings every day after the kids get out (45 minutes early) that first week. This is our first year starting this early in August and I'm not feeling ready to go back. We got out later in June than ever and it has been too short of a summer break for me. |

I'm curious about the schedule of southern schools. When do you get out and why do you go back so early? I' m inPA and we go back the last week of Aug. and get out the first week of June. We get a week at Christmas and a week in March if we use no snow days. Plus 5 days at Thanksgiving and Easter ( including weekends. ) do you have longer breaks. It just seems so early to me.

I go back August 11 and the students start August 18. I am so not ready yet.
To make it worse, I have a just summons for Federal Court for Aug 1. What if I get chosen for jury duty? I am not allowed back in my room until August 4th to put my room back together after the summer cleaning. I may actually be living the back to school nightmares this year.

Our kids finished school on June 20th and they go back the Thursday after Labor Day. I teach at a private school, so I go in the Tuesday after Labor Day, but I don't have students until the following Wednesday. It takes a week to put the room back together.

In the UK most kids have only been on holiday about a week and don't go back until the first week of September. Hope you enjoy your final weekend It varies spectacularly in the UK - we've been off since 25th June and are back to school on 11th August (for teachers - 13th for pupils). That's our local authority though, others were anything up to a week and a half later but still return in August. Scottish schools traditionally are on holiday earlier than English schools. Not entirely sure why though  |

I go back to teach half-day summer school on Monday. That will last for two weeks then I'll have another week before I go back for teacher staff development and work days. The kiddos come on August 24, I believe. Summer went too fast!

Florida as well, with teachers returning August 11 and the students on August 18. The kids finished up the first week of June. My college students begin August 18 as well, but if students didn't take summer classes, they've been out since the first week of May.

Our kids get out the first week of June as long as there aren't a lot of snow days if there are it could be the second week of June and we go back the last week of August. I live in PA.

I need to get off of here and head in to work on my room, but I am being lazy. @tank Top Do you have to go in and get your room set up on your own time? I guess I always thought teachers went back about a week before kids to do that stuff, have meetings, etc... Melanie |

My son starts July 31st. He was out June 5th, but that was after four snow days so it should have been May 30th.
He has two weeks off for Fall Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break. It's a balanced calendar.
