Take a Look at When Students Go Back to Class in Shreveport Bossier

You might remember the days when we got about 3 months off from school for a magnificent summer vacation. Those days are gone. Summer for students and teachers in Louisiana is now only about 2 months or a little bit longer.

We did a little checking and found that Jefferson Parish teachers go back on August 1 and students return on August 7. That seems to be the earliest in the state. DeSoto Parish is closer to that date too.

It seems every year school begins earlier and earlier. Part of the problem has to do with standardized testing that has to be done each spring. School systems have to develop a schedule to make sure that is accounted for. Most school districts have also implemented a fall break into the calendar.

Here's the Schedule for the 2023-2024 School Year:
