Welcome Back!

Grades 4 - 6 start Monday, August 30

Grades K - 3 & Preschool start Thursday, September 2

Akron Public Schools has used staggered starts in a strategic way for many years as students return to school. Following a summer of learning and fun in APS Mystery Camps (and dozens of other summer offerings), many APS students spent some time in the past several months in an educational setting. In fact, more than 10,000 APS scholars participated this summer.

When school resumes, rather than send all 20,000 students back on the very same day, APS staggers the start to ensure the student body members all have an opportunity to begin school with a small group around it.
