Just curious when schools in different areas start. Schools for us start September 8. Currently have reservations for Aug 22 - 29 but wondering if I should delay it a week, although free dining starts on the 28th so not sure if that will draw a big crowd.
Most schools in Texas start the last week of Aug.
Though with Football, Cheerleader, Dance team and Marching band practice all starting in the first or second week of August many Texas families with 14 - 18 year old children will have taken their vacations in July.
We start 8/24 and I live in West Central Florida. Most Florida schools probably go back around the same time.
I'm in Polk county (Fl) and DD starts on 8/24/15. This is later than last year.
My kids schools in AZ start the first full week of August.
Maybe I should stick with the week I have then! I know it will be HOT and crowded but maybe not as crowded as free dining (I have a bounceback so already have free dining).
Lafayette, Louisiana here. My kids go back on Aug. 13.
I'm not sure, but it's usually around the 15th of August!! :shake:
Believe it or not, schools in our county (mid-Georgia) start on August 3. DW, who is a teacher, has to go back to work on July 27. Summer vacation for her barely lasts 8 weeks.
Wow, July 27 is early!!!
When our kids were in high school, we would go WDW the last week in August. Still quite hot and humid but not as crowded.Quote:

We went in late August once. The later, the better. Crowds get lighter as the month comes to a close. I think your dates are fine, though it will be HOT. But you know that.:)
Michigan starts 9/8. We've got 8/26-9/5 booked right now. :mickey:
Kids start August 31st for us. We are in PA but all the districts in PA have their own starting times from a week before us to after labor day.
NC schools start August 25th or the Monday nearest August 25th.
SC schools start August 17th (or so).
Most schools in the South East start in Mid August.
I work in a school in CT. Staff return on 8/25 and kids on 8/27 this year. We've never started before the week before Labor Day in my district, so I booked a trip to the World before the calendar was released....I got really lucky because we come back 8/24...just means I'll be a little tired that first in-service day. I think some other schools in the area start 8/31.
Our schools in TN go back mid August but they get out mid May.
