I'll be heading in on Monday to drop stuff off. My house looks like Walmart & Office Depot barfed in it. :-)
I'll probably spend a few hours poking around because I'll "have to".
After that, I'll probably go in a few hours each morning. I have a bad back, so working a couple of hours over a longer period of time is better for me than marathon sessions.
Our OFFICIAL report date - the ONE day that they "give" us to set up our rooms (hahahahah) is Friday the 8th. Party at our principal's ranch that night. Yeeehaw!
Monday & Tuesday, the 11th and 12th are staff development/staff meeting days. I think we get one half day in there to work with our grade level teammates.
This is year [HASH]30 for me. 9 more to go. :-D
eta: we're on a "modified traditional" schedule. We start mid-August and get out the first week of June. We also get all of Thanksgiving Week off, two weeks (sometimes three, depending on how the dates fall) for Christmas break, and two weeks for Spring Break. I like having longer, more-frequent breaks rather than a long summer.
Chele :-)

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 ![:smile:](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) 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 ![:confused:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/gFcgIuKyZogcCNuz36nO.jpg) Interesting! Where are you?

My DD finished primary school on Weds but attended the secondary school she will go to in Sept for the last few days as a transition exercise so we are only on summer holidays today! She is so tired I don't see much being done for a few days.

When we moved from California to Florida, we moved the first week of August. In Ca. the kids were due back at school after Labor Day so first week in Sept. We arrived in Florida and looked up their start date so we'd know when to register them, and discovered Florida schools started the following week! Had some VERY unhappy kids that year.

My kids are grown but I provide transportation and after school care for a friend's son. His last day of school was May 21st and he goes back August 6th. He goes to a private school that basically follows the county's (we live in Georgia's largest school district) calendar. Neither he nor I are ready for school to start back!

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. We get out in mid-May. Part of the reason for the early start is that our board wants to get the first semester finished before Christmas break. Then, we added in a fall break week and voila! It's an early August school start. Our board has said that the students need to be finished with fall semester before Christmas for testing purposes, and so that they don't have to come back to school to do finals. I don't buy that necessarily; I was in school With finals in January and did just fine.

We've been out of school exactly one month here in New Jersey, so any talk of the "s" word is making twitchy. LOL

One son is in public school and goes back after Labor Day.
The other attends both a state-run early intervention group for language issues and a private preschool.
The private preschool also starts after Labor Day, but the language group ran off and on during the summer. He went in May, was off June, is going in July, and will be off until the last week of August when they will restart again. He also gets a longer winter break from that school than the kids get from the preschool or the public school. So basically, that school runs a year-round calendar. I really like it and would be happy to use that schedule across the board.

my3freaks, most teachers have to go in on their own time to set up their classrooms. My pre-planning days are filled with meetings. We get very little time in our rooms. I am just thankful I teach in a high school because we don't have near the amount of set up that elementary school teachers do. I not only have my classroom to get ready I also have to get my lab set up as well.
Elementary school teachers are my heroes! They do so much to set up beautiful, organized rooms. I have actually seen comments on the other board where people judged their child's teacher harshly because the room was not decorated all pretty on Meet the Teacher day.

Do most of the schools in the south have air conditioning?

Our teachers are back on the 4th school starts on the 18th. They finish the first week in June.
This is our first year at a new charter school.
At my daughters previous school they go back after labor day and finish the first week in June.
But they had so many days off during a year. She will actually be in class 20 more days this year compared to last!

Do most of the schools in the south have air conditioning? Absolutely. Back in the old days the buildings were designed to maximize the cross breezes. Now, they are not, and some rooms in my kids school don't even have functioning windows. Without the a/c it would be like an oven. In fact, I was a mostly likely a tween the last time I was in a building that didn't have a/c. I didn't have it as a kid, and vividly remember our first window unit a/c in my house. The school I attended didn't have a/c, but those days are LONG gone. It is like asking if the schools "up north" have heat. (I am in Florida/grew up in Florida-I run my a/c at home probably 10 months of the year) ETA: I am sorry, that sounded ugly, and I didn't mean to be snarky at all.

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. @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 I'm not tanktop but I can say that my school district pays teachers for 4 days before students come back. 2 of them are full day staff development and 1/2 a day is a all staff meeting and then 1/2 a day is a grade level kind of meeting. Which leaves one day to be in the classroom setting up which is nowhere near enough time. Most teachers are either in their classroom the week before setting up so that it's done before all of the meetings or they are spending their Labor Day weekend setting up. I always go in ahead because my birthday is usually during Labor Day weekend.

I'm also in central Texas, in our district teachers go back on Tuesday, August 19. However if they did not do any staff development days over the summer, they have to start on the 15th. Kids come back on Tuesday the 26th. The schedule of those five days back before the kids start are up to each principal I guess, and I am pretty sure that on my campus we have two full classroom workdays. I'm one of the ones eager to go back, but I just started back teaching this past December (after being home with kids for many years), so the year was super short for me!

My middle schooler and high schooler start on July 31st. My high school student just finished a week of marching band camp. We get a week-long break in October and another in March, I believe. Christmas is about 2-3 weeks.

I have heard that we probably aren't going back until Thanksgiving though (mid-October) total speculation but I can see it happening.

That is early! Around here students go back the day after Labor Day and teachers do workshop and staff development the week before.
