Ditto. I have a meeting next Friday and report for inservice on the 27th.
I love Summer.
HS, MS started yesterday here.
Today elementary starts.
First FB game is August 24th.
Crazy, I never started before September but guess school lets out for summer break earlier now.
Every state is different. Minnesota start dates are really controlled by tourism. Resorts need help until Labor Day and the state fair ends on Labor Day. So their lobby forces schools not start until the first Tuesday after Labor day. Sometimes that is really late.
But FB has a game Aug. 31. Friday of Labor Day weekend.
So to me-We could start earlier and get done earlier. No one will love every schedule.
Last year-the last Thursday in August had :Back to school nights, HS football, Twins game, Vikings preseason and U of Minnesota Home game. F****** insane.
My kid is at North Dakota State and they start classes Aug 21.
Since this is about weather-Last August we had 6.5 inches of rain. This year- 1.13 inches. I think that is more normal.
