It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts (地区).
The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in September. In some other school districts, school begins in midtolate August. For example, the Denver, Colorado schools go back in midAugust and schools in Cleveland, Ohio start back usually one week before the first Monday in September. The Boston, Chicago, New York City and San Diego schools start back on the Tuesday or Wednesday after the first Monday in September.
Schools in Cleveland, Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September, but in the 19761977 and 19771978 academic years, the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms, extremely cold. In the 19781979 school year, the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August, one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 19801981 school year.
In most school districts in Utah, the school year starts between August 25 and August 30, and goes until the last week of May or the first week in June next year.
In American high schools, the freshmen class usually goes back one or two days before the rest of the school body for an orientation (迎新) period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school, its rules, and surroundings.
In some schools, the freshmen classes have their photographs taken for identification purposes. Some high schools have tried to make the first week of school fun for incoming freshmen.
