Hi! I’m in Conroe and we’ll be there the 1st through the 7th. I’m surprised to hear Humble is out that week.
Yeah, it's a new schedule that they started this year at Humble ISD. Instead of going back the 4th week of August, the kids went back 2 weeks earlier, and they got a whole week in October, and another whole week in February, so basically, you start school the second week of August, you have 6 weeks of school, then get a week off in October, you have another 6 weeks of school, then get the week off for Thanksgiving, then only a few more weeks back at school, then the 2 weeks for Christmas, go back to school for 3 weeks, then you get the week off in February, then a month later, you get Spring break, then you have to get through that last stretch of April and May, and then school is out for Summer. My husband is a 2nd grade teacher in the district, and it's made such a positive difference for both teachers and students. For people who prefer to travel/vacation in the off season, it's a major bonus. I hate going anywhere during the Summer because of the crowds and heat, so instead, we'll stay local during the Summer and take our trips in October and February.
I believe New Caney ISD follows a similar schedule, so, since it seems to be received quite well, maybe the surrounding districts will follow suit.
Have fun! Maybe we'll run into each other, I'll be wearing my Texans and Astros gear! (I had special Astros Mickey ears made)!
