OT- When is summer over for you??

[mainegal]

Summer!? What summer?
I think we are only on our fifth day of summer!

Summer ???

This is our first week of summer temperatures. We have did not have our air conditioner on until about a week ago. I was just thinking this morning that I have not had one of those days yet where the heat and humidity make you miserable.

That being said, summer break ends for my kids on August 19th. Me I get vacation time but no summer vacation.

Empty nesters and don't teach, but school here starts August 12.

Has summer started? It's been cold here...

Our girls go back to school the day after Labor Day - Sept. 8th. Very late this year, and all the camps are closed Aug 31 - Sept 4. So I don't know what we're doing that first week of September.

Same here, Dave! Actually, the camp my boys are in only runs for 6 weeks, so this week is their last week. I'm sending them to my parents' next week, the following week DH is taking them to his brothers for some camping & such, then the next two weeks, I'm really not sure! Either I'll take them to work with me scared or I'll send them to my parents' again, or DH will take off. Gotta figure it out still...

I just finished buying all their supplies. I *love* school supplies shopping & do it as soon as the displays are up (& before everything I need is gone!)

Here at the University of Louisville, Fall Semester starts August 24th. The Students begin moving back on campus the week of August 17th. We will have major printing projects over the next few weeks for Welcome Weekend Events for incoming Freshman and their families.

We work year round - no summer break

Our work slows down in October for a couple of weeks then we go into end of semester then we have a busy December closing out fall semester and prepping for Spring Semester. February is another slow month for us.

Summer hasn't even started here it seems, and it's already August! Our daughter doesn't go back to school until after Labor day, but the weather up here has barely broken 85 degrees this year.

Were heading down to Disney again the end of August, and frankly, after that, as far as I'm concerned, the winter doldrums will be setting in.

I move into College Aug 22 and start classes the 26th

School starts here on August 10th.

If you don't actually work at the school and don't find another job which I hope you do if you want one, you could always volunteer at their school.

That's what I did until 3rd grade when I was told they would only need my help on special occasions like a class party or their "field trip" which was in the school.

I was amazed at how much I could get done at home on my days off from my part time job when I wasn't always volunteering.

Volunteering is how I got my job, I logged 100 hours a month some months! I am sure I will be doing that! LOL!!

Most schools here in Georgia go back Monday Aug.3. Teachers are already there. The good thing about going back so soon here is that my son gets a lot of time off during the year. Here's a quick rundown:

Labor Day
Fall Break- ( Oct.) off the entire week, not sure of the dates
Thanksgiving week- off the entire week
Christmas Break- two weeks
MLK Holiday-
Winter Break- entire week in the middle of Feb.
Spring Break- entire week after Easter Sunday
Memorial Day

Then throw in the random teacher work days and you can see he gets a ton of time off.

You guys must have a balanced calendar....I SOOOOO would like one of those! I really think it will be a long time before it's considered here, though.

My kids are both in high school this year. They have half day on Aug 18th, then full days starting 19th.

 

[bawstngrl]

I am looking forward to 70-80 degree weather here.

Me too...the BEST time to be in FL......mid OCTOBER thru mid May...YEAH

as a former teacher/parent I also was always in the "summer vacation" routine....summer 2007 was the first year I did not have someone in the house (including me) going back to school.....it was really weird

I'm in Gwinnett County GA and my kids don't have a schedule this good. We don't get a fall break or Winter Break. And only have 3 days off for Thanksgiving week. You are very lucky!

Wow, I thought this was pretty much state wide. We live in Pike County. It's about an hour south of Atlanta. Griffin is our neighbor which is in Spalding County, and I know they have the same schedule.

When do classes start in Gwinnett?

 

[flyingcat2003]

We often take our Disney Trips during the fall break or the winter break. We love doing this . It's not as hot but still hot enough to go swimming and the crowds are so managable. Unfortunately we will be unable to go during these times this year, what a bummer.

I would love a balanced calendar!!

I'm not sure if this is considered a balance schedule. I'm posting this link so some of you that are interested can see our calendar. You can view the calendar if you look to your left under quick links. My mother is a teacher with a similar calendar and she says she hates it. She says the summers are too short.
