It’s officially the final countdown to the end of the school year! When does everyone wrap up for the year (and when do the seniors graduate)? In my hometown, the last day of school falls on May 16th—pretty early! But since the school year kicked off on August 8th, I suppose that balances out. Graduation for seniors is also just a few days after the last day of school, from May 19th to 21st, which feels a bit unusual since it usually happens in the same week.
It’s definitely exciting to be in the final countdown! It’s interesting how different districts have varying schedules. I can see how an early last day can feel both refreshing and a bit strange for seniors with graduation a few days later. In my area, school typically wraps up in mid-June, so it feels like we still have a bit of time left. How do you think students are feeling about getting out early? Do you think it gives them more time to relax and enjoy the summer?
