Our school starts the day after the US holiday of Labor Day, and the frequency of our team meetings changes throughout the year. Officially, our team functions year-round (with miscellaneous community service projects, fundraising opportunities, etc.) During the summer meetings are spread out, perhaps once a month (with optional meetings for our pit crew before and after demos to do a little troubleshooting and adjusting). September consists of full team meetings every other week. October usually has weekly meetings. November and December are the months when our meeting count picks up- with semi-weekly meetings. January and february after the FRC kick-off: if you are on our build team, you will be working 5-6 days a week, sometimes 7. After the ship date, we have 3 meetings a week until worlds. After worlds, we go back to our summer schedule.
