ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Year-round school

Year-round school is when schools start earlier in August and don't have a long break for the summer. Instead of a long summer break, kids have shorter breaks throughout the year like one week in October and March, two weeks at Thanksgiving, and a month off in the summer. This lets students keep learning all year and not forget as much. It can help students stay focused on school and help them learn more.
