After much discussion the Boulder Valley School board has decided to push back the school start date by one week. All of Boulder Valley will start on August 22 or 23, 2013 (depending on grade). The mid August start date did always seem early, like summer was just in full swing so another week before school starts will be nice. Other features of the calendar are that it minimizes partial weeks, a request of working parents, and keeps the same spring break as the University of Colorado. The last day of school is May 30.
Enjoy the extra week of summer vacation with your kids this year! You can read more at Boulder Valley school board approves start date of Aug. 22.
