The start of school

I’ve been wanting to know for a long time. I know that we are all from all over the U.S. **So, when does everybody start school in the fall??? ** We start on August 14, this comming year. I especially want to know about the High Schools. http://www.msdpt.k12.in.us/etspages/ph/falcon.jpg

I start school August 15…

Thursday, August 30, 2001…

Not proud of my school’s “mascot” and will therefore refrain from sharing…

it used to be in september, but this year it will be on july 30th …can you believe it? summer vacation is getting shorter and shorter… :frowning:

…September 4th, I think (all I know is that its the first time in like a decade that theyre starting after Labor day)

But I’ll be at Babson, and I move in August 26th.

WHS is the Indians (which reminds me, ask team #38 about their mascot, the Chiefs, and about the “Save the Chief” campaign), and Babson is the Beavers (but what do you expect, its a business school, they dont care too much about sports)

September 5, although that is college. RIT is the Tigers too. We actually had one at one time (in the '50’s). We get the Tiger in Tigerbolt from RIT.

Matt who’s still trying to figure out what a Tigerbolt is…

I think we are starting on August 29th. Id rather start earlier, and get out earlier because we always end up getting out in the middle of June.

Hendrix College starts September 18th. I move in on September 15th.
And we are the warriors. We used to have like an Indian chief as our mascot, but that was decided to be very un-PC so we are without a mascot picture at the moment. They are trying to make the emblem a squirrel. Yes…I live in Arkansas.

-becky…who sighs and rolls her eyes at the sight of a warrior squirrel

ummmm…never :slight_smile:

Wow…August…July?!? That’s nuts! In Quincy it was always after Labor Day…and even RIT, I don’t move in till the 2nd of September (before Matt b/c I’m a first year). So again I say… WOW! :eek:

I thought it was crazy that people are starting so late. We’ve always started school in the middle of August. I like going to school earlier so we can get out earlier.

Actually you move in after me but I’m going back to MD to referee the NASA/GSFC Post-Season Competition Labor Day weekend.

I start class on August 27th. Usually it’s after Labor Day, but alas, not this year. Although they make up for it, by giving us a week off for Thanksgiving. Fun stuff…

I go back Sept. 6.

Ducks just in time to avoid a can of SPAM being thrown at him

I actually like having all of August off. We go back to school when it cools down, and we get out just before it heats up.

i actually avoid thinking about it…but i believe its sometime around september 15th or so

Well, my old high school starts after Labor Day and gets out in the middle of June, we graduated this year the day before Father’s Day. That’s in one of the tourist areas of Virginia. I am taking a few college courses this year, not full-time just cc and hope for trasfers to wherever I decide to enroll. I’ll start sometime in August I’m sure.

I’m not ENTIRELY sure about this, but at least sure enough to post. :wink: Virginia High Schools by law must start after Labor Day. The State needs our wonderful youthfull bodies to work at all the tourist spots in VA Beach, Busch Gardens, etc. I’d be upset, but personally I like starting late!

~Tom~, who only has another year left whew!

Here is Bakersfield, CA school usualy starts on the last monday in August

I start school on Aug 30, although that is a College. Most high schools in central massachusetts start late august. Ithaca High School in New York starts the wednesday after labor day.

About that VA law Tom mentioned… I don’t think it is a law. I know somw people all over the state who start school before labor day. It really depends on where you live as to when school starts. People in Roanoke go back to school in August sometime. There was talk of making a law about when school starts, but that got dropped like a ton of bricks. Too much of a loaded issue I guess. You know how political VA is.
