Students enjoying summer break, be prepared: In roughly four to five weeks, school will be back in session for public school districts in Clark and Champaign counties for the 2024-25 year.

Some students will begin the second week of August, and many will start later for the third and fourth week.

Many districts have separate start dates for preschool and kindergarten students versus grades 1 through 12. In those cases, preschool and kindergarten kids often start a few days later than the rest of the school. Check your individual school district’s calendar for details.
