Summer is around 2 1/2 - 3 months long. School starts at the beginning of September. Days off are as likely to be midweek as adjacent to a weekend. Terms are not tied to vacations, there are four terms which finish randomly through the year.

Week 9 one day off,
week 11 one day off
week 12 two days off (thanksgiving four day weekend)
week 17 the whole week is off (christmas)
week 20 one day off
week 22 one day off
week 25 one day off
week 31 the whole week is off (spring break)
week 34 one day off
week 39 one day off
week 40 one day off
week 41 last week of school

See why year round school would be an improvement?
