Kids generally go back to school in the United States around early to mid- August or early September, depending on the school district. For example:
- In Seattle Public Schools for the 2025-26 school year, the first day of school for grades 1-12 is September 3, 2025, and preschool and kindergarten start on September 8, 2025.
- In Duval County Schools, the first day is August 11, 2025.
- Other districts might start around mid to late August as well.
In the Netherlands, school start dates vary by region:
- Central region students start back on August 22, 2025.
- South region starts a week later.
- North region students go back on September 4, 2025.
Thus, the back-to-school period varies by location but is generally late August to early September in the US, and late August to early September in regions of the Netherlands as well.
