I heard school has started in August, if so when in August did school start?

Question

Surprised to hear so because back in the past during my school days school always started in the beginning of September, usually on September 4th.

Answer 1

In some schools they start the 26 or 27. Like in mine they start on the 26. But yo make sure you should call your school or go and ask

Answer 2

my kids go back ag.26 tues,but that is only because they have a 2 week winter break this year.

Answer 3

it depends on where you live. some places start in september and some start in august. last year i started around august 4th... but this year they changed it and i started august 18th. (i live in FL)  

Answer 4

i live in OHio and we started today so it's pretty normal for me to start in August  

Answer 5

In West Va since the 50s school has always started the last Monday in August and always ended before Memorial day.  Now school starts there the last week in August but the day can vary from county to county but generally ends the first week in June except for Seniors in HS who graduate before Memorial Day.  

In New Jersey it always starts the day after Labor Day Monday and generally ends mid June after 180 school calendar days.  The June date can be extended if there are days off for snow closings.  

Answer 6

Depends on your location in the United States.

School started August 11 for all but one County in Tennessee. This one lone County has a $500,000 Budget shortfall for the 2008/2009 School Year.

The County and School Board are still at an impasse over the Budget.

I know years ago, Florida waited until after Labor Day to start School.

I have Graduated High School in 1975.
