When is the first day of school?

Although the specific date varies by each school or school district, the first day of school typically occurs between early August and early September. Students and parents can find the specific date a school begins by visiting the school or school district's website and looking for the school year calendar, which typically has the first day of school along with other key dates.

For example, as of 2015, some schools in Ohio start as early as August 10th and as late as September 6th, notes Fox19. Along with a range of start dates, the last day of school also varies widely but usually occurs in May or June, notes Just Landed.
