When we lived in upstate NY, our K-12 district began the day after Labor Day, but my daughter's hs graduation this year was June 23rd!!!
I know the Memphis schools here begin early--but so does my own college. (New faculty orientation is August 15th, and after that, there is all kinds of orientation I must preside over.) We bring daughter to college in NY (Geneva, NY) on August 19th--her field hockey tryouts are the week prior to new student orientation. Son begins college in Boston about the same time.
Given the late NY dates and the early ones here, we've had no summer vacation--and won't go to Sowal at all this summer (big UGH!!) My intention,tho, is to drive south at March break (but I know all of you would caution us re March break???
