Have all your kids started school for the year?

Posted September 4, 2015 - 5:10pm

We do not start until the 8th but I feel like we are the only ones. Most schools went back on Wednesday since labor day was late this year. I don't think I could handle my kids starting school before Labor Day.

Your Kid's Table

I live in Pittsburgh and the vast majority of schools start the week before labor day. I just sent my oldest to kindergarten. It was gut wrenching.  Tell me it gets easier!

For me it hasn't gotten easier and my oldest is a senior.  I'm always really down the first week of school or so.

Yes in Seattle my kids started on the 2nd, with an orientation and picture day on the 1st! I wasn't ready for summer to end before Labor Day at all! Having trouble adjusting to waking up early once again!

We homeschool and are starting on the 8th.

I think that would be the biggest issue if we moved south, to start school in August! That is just so foreign to me. I am so glad we did not start before Labor Day.  Just psychologically that is too hard for me. LOL

My kids just finished there second full week of school.  Crazy since the weather here in Pittsburgh has been hotter those two weeks then any time during the summer.  Wish we could hve been enjoying pool time together, but instead we have had 3 hours of homework.

I agree...August would be tough for us too. It stays hot here well into mid September. I do know some of the public schools did start the middle of August (close to August 15th)and take a month off at Christmas time.

We don't get a month of at Christmas (only two weeks) and only get 3 days for Spring/Easter break.  We started August 23 and usually go until about June 10th.

We start school on Tuesday. However, my middle son who is starting pre-school this year will be starting a little later since his screening appointment is not until the middle of the month.
