When Do Schools Start In Rhode Island

As the summer winds down to a close and the new school year waits right around the corner, the question on parents’ and students’ minds is when is the first day of school?

The state Department of Education requires that the first day of school be no later than the first Thursday after Labor Day, which this year means Sept. 7.

While some schools have chosen to start after Labor Day, others will begin in late August. Below is a full list of start dates for public schools in Rhode Island, in alphabetical order by school district.
