Are the schools (K-12) in your area still in session?

[pstokely]

Around here, they've been out for at least a week and don't start again until like Mid-August

[KitchenWitch]

1. Yes, the traditional schedule schools go until June 18.

[Chan790]

13. Here too...

I only know because I have a scheduled date with a teacher who I can't meet until her school year is over on the 18th.

2. I have NO IDEA.

Really, haven't noticed one way or the other. We homeschool. :)

[KitchenWitch]

4. So, how does that work with STAR testing?

[LeftyMom]

6. We have a private school affadavit. We don't have to do standardized testing.

:shrug:

8. That is awesome!

One of my friends homeschools her son (her daughter is in HS and decided she wanted to go to the local high school).

[LeftyMom]

10. Yeah, it's nice.

We get to work around his interests, at times that work for him, on a schedule that works for us. And no silly tests.

He's way ahead in most things- years ahead in reading and the sciences- but his handwriting is just comically bad, and since we get to work with him at his level, that's totally fine. I think in school he'd have a really hard time because he absolutely hates loud noises and crowds.

3. my daughter is out and a few of my neighbor kids. We have year round here until

middle school so some won't be out until mid july and that has to suck.

5. Three more days :/

I have mixed blessings...

I love spending time with my son... but I sleep when he's supposed to be at school. No school -> no sleep. I think I got a plan though. He might well be dispatched to his pawpaw's instead of going to school.

Mark.

7. This will be the last week for the kids in my county.

But some of my cousins go to private schools they have been out for two weeks already.

9. Our high school's final day

here in Highland Park was May 30.

The only other district I know of was Plano, TX who had their last day June 4 and their graduation is on June 10.

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Until the end of the month. They start back up in the first week of September.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. some are, some aren't. BabyG has until Wednesday...

WannaB's school, I think, let out last week.

She got out early because of graduation.

BabyG goes back the day after Labor Day.

[NewJeffCT]

14. I'm pretty sure our public schools have another week or so

but, I'm not sure - our daughter is in a full-day kindergarten program that officially ends on June 19. I assume most of the local public schools end around that same time.

[bbernardini]

15. Here in SE Pennsylvania, I think most of the public schools finish this week.

However, I teach at a private school, and our last day was this past Friday. I suspect most of the private schools are the same.

Some schools in the Philadelphia area didn't open today, or are dismissing early because of the heat.

[PRETZEL]

22. This is the last week for the public schools that my daughter and

step kids who all go to different schools in the Philly suburbs.

Daughter graduates this Thursday (HOORRAAYYY for her).

[fight4my3sons]

16. Next Thursday is the last day

and it's a 1/2 day.

[succubus.blues]

17. We have one more week.

We finish up the 13th and go back mid-August.

[BarenakedLady]

18. Yes until the 25th. (n/t)

[QueenOfCalifornia]

19. yes...

one week left....

Then we are one.

And you do know...

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

[lost-in-nj]

20. Yes until next week some time

I think

but they are getting out early today because of the heat

21. In most parts of NJ, school ends this week.

But there are other districts who run classes until the 3rd week in June (to make up for snow days).

[femmocrat]

23. Friday was our last day.

We go back the third week of August (which will come way too fast!).
