byMy daughters do not have a traditional school schedule. Instead, they’re on a year-round calendar. And I was very skeptical at first. Much to my surprise, I’ve grown to love this schedule — especially in the summer months.
Still, no matter how much I loved my summers as a kid, I knew the logical choice for our family was to stick with our assigned school and get comfortable with the year-round calendar. If I’m being honest, half the battle of getting used to a year-round school schedule is figuring out how the heck it works. The school year runs from mid-July through the end of June , and students are in session for around nine weeks, then off for around three, with those 12-ish weeks marking each quarter.
