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.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or year:
“The most powerful lessons about ethics and morality do not come from school discussions or classes in character building. They come from family life where people treat one another with respect, consideration, and love.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“The New Year is the season in which custom seems more particularly to authorize civil and harmless lies, under the name of compliments. People reciprocally profess wishes which they seldom form and concern which they seldom feel.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
