School year

From Gunn Wiki

A school year, as opposed to a calendar year, describes the length of time that students are in a given grade. The school year is subdivided into two grading periods called semesters, which are for convenience subdivided into two quarters each.

Within the school year are four notable breaks:

  • Thanksgiving break, occurring in late November, lasts 1 week.
  • Winter Break, in late December and early January, lasts 2 weeks. It divides the first and second semesters.
  • Spring Break, in early April, lasts 1 week.
  • Summer Break, beginning in early June and ending in mid-August, lasts 2½ months.
