School Year
The school year for 2008-2009 started September 2 and concludes on June 4. Snow days are added to the end of the year. This is the third year in which Dallas started to begin in September; it has historically begun in late August and ended in early to mid June. Next year, a new format will be set in place in which the school year will begin late August and end in late May due to construction for the new high school that is currently under construction.
