Up here in NJ we start after Labor day and go until almost the end of June. I grew up in NY and it was that way since I was a kid in the 1970s. We have a whole family trip to fit in before school starts.

Sept 2nd. Which IMO is ridiculous because it's a Friday followed by a 3 day weekend.

Day after Labor Day. School ended on June 18th or something (can't remember, it seems like AGES ago). I feel like there's still so much summer fun we need to have before school starts. I'm pretty sure the kids feel the same way...

Here at my house we will start back after Labor day. I homeschool and we take breaks throughout the year and all my kids do school project all through the summer. I don't like the backslide that happens during the summer so the activities keep them up on the basics.
