With all the confusion, one parent is wondering when does "summer" start for her child this year?

Originally, the current school year was set to end on June 17. With the snow days, hurricane days and strike days, the final day of school is June 24 for the district. SMH-Quidnessett Elementary, however, will end classes on June 25, as they were out for an extra day following the hurricane.
