This year we go back Aug. 8, students return Aug. 9.  Our district usually starts back around the 23rd of Aug., but they're building a new high school and construction forced a change in the schedule.  Worst part is, we had a really short summer this year, but next year is going to be from May 19 to after Labor Day!  I know that might sound like a good thing to some, but I teach special ed and all those extra days mean only more summer loss for my students.  Why an entire district had to be inconvenienced for the sake of a single school is beyond me.

I go back on the 14th of August, the kids start back on the 20th.  I'm wondering where my summer went?  LOL

We go back on the 22 with kids coming in the 27th.  Of course, have a meeting next Monday and K orientation on the 15th.  Currently trying to finish up Wikinomics rather than have that 'open' as a book I am in once school starts!  I have had a great summer since my 5 year old granddaughter has really taken off with reading these few months.  As a reading specialist that is always a great moment in time!  We have enjoyed reading to her 4 mo old brother!

Classes don't start for me until August 27th.  I agree, the summer has gone by quickly.  I just got done teaching summer school a mere month ago. 

Is anyone involved in year round school in their system?

We start back on the 27th with kids on Sept. 4.  I've been back over a week working in my room though.

Teachers started back on the 16th; Students not until the 27th.  We have 5 full days of staff development (groan) and NO work days until the end.  I guess the district figured teachers will come in on the weekends and they don't have to pay us!  Yes, I did go in today (Saturday).
