Solely looking into the time period in which Kickoff is, no, January is not an ideal time for Start Build Day. However, eliminating start build day wouldn't be beneficial in my eyes, rather moving it later into the year (maybe March or April time period).

By January, many high school students are just getting back from Winter break and are just getting back into the flow of school. Because of this, the work load seems much greater than any other time throughout the year. This is because students got a taste of a break from school, meaning they need to get "re-calibrated" (I know, bad term for it) for school in general.

Having kickoff this same time, with the added stress of getting back into the flow of school, is kind of a detriment in my eyes.

Moving it to later in the year, I think students would be more into the flow of things and would enjoy it better rather than thinking of it as un-needed extra work.
