The first day of school in Council Rock is September 5 for grades K-6, 7 and 9. The first day for all other students is September 6. 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.
