I don't have to go to school until 9:30... which means there'll only be 4 hours in the school day!!! :D

Um, ok....

what grade are you in?
I'm in 7th, and I think it's stupid that Middle School kids and High School kids can't have two hour delays! :mad:

Elemantary kids get so many two hour delays.
Collage students get up to four weeks of Christmas break.

Middle School and High School kids get nothing :(

Delays don't exist just for students to sleep in and have a break, they're for teachers to have meetings and such. and college is WAY different than middle and high school. it's not part of the school district.

last year we got a 3-hour late start the first wednesday of every month, this year they changed it to a 3-hour early release.

Thanks for informing us. :D

one day we only had school from 8.30am to 11.30am

Nice! I'd rather have an early release than start school late. :D

Yeah...colleges don't run by the same schedule, although the ones around here have similar schedules to the public school system here. The public schools here have a statewide teacher inservice conference every year on the 3rd Thursday and Friday in October and the kids get those two days off...but the colleges in this state don't do that.

I'm in 7th grade, but where I live grades 6, 7, and 8 are apart of MIDDLE SCHOOL.

That's what I meant.

I remember like 2 years ago, the snow was really heavy here in MD that there was no school for 1 week straight.

Here its K-5 is elementary school, 6-8 is middle school, and 9-12 is high school..

I wish that it was Jr. High instead of middle school...6th graders are really short and annoying.

Ooh! 6th grade! Big deal...:rolleyes:

I should be in 9th grade anyways but my mother made me and my twin sister do 8th twice because she thought we were too young. :sleep2:

Word. And also for snow...but we won't get any this winter because it's a half-ass winter.

We only have delays if theres snow or floods and stuff like that

Up until two years ago it was K-6. 7-9 and 10-12...but they changed it to K-5, 6-8 and 9-12 when they built the new highschool. Now the Jr. High's are middle schools...but I'm still used to calling them Junior highs so **** that **** :grr:

Middle School and High School kids get nothing :( For us, all of the schools in the district get all of the same delays, days off, and such. Except sometimes one school will have half days for confrences and the others wont.

Ours was K-5, 6-8, 9-12

Another school was K-6, 7-8, 9-12, I guess it depends on the district

I had a two hour delay also, because of the ice and stuff. Horray.

Oh yeah, every first Wednesday of the month (I think it is) we get a half day because of teacher meeting or whatever. :o

I'm happy because that means it's tomorrow! :cool:

December 1st was the first Wednesday of the month.

:rofl:

Here it's K-5, then 6-8, then 9-12.

High schoolers during exam weeks(at the end of the semesters) only have a half of day. :D

Nothing really. :rotflmao:

Out here it used to be:
K-6,
7-9,
10-12.

Now, it's:
K-5,
6-8,
9-12
(I think that's it... I haven't gone to school for over 20 years.)

When I lived in California, the high school I was going to was brand new but it only consisted of 9th and 10th graders to help with the overcrowding problem. Was actually pretty cool. The next year after that they added 11th graders, then the following year they added 12th graders.

I actually went to 3 different high schools, which sucks

You also have to PAY for college...so yeah we have breaks in between the semesters but we have to pay for them. And I actually have 6 weeks off until next semester.
