Deerfield School Calendar 2017-18: First Day Of School, Vacations, Conferences

The first day of school in Deerfield is August 21. Feel free to mark it on your calendar as one of the most dreaded days of the year for students and teachers — and feel free not to feel guilty about marking it as one of your favorites.
