As most students attend their first few classes of the new school year children at Haskell Academy celebrate ten years of year round school.

Students returned to the classroom in July, though they have fewer summer days off, they make up vacation time during other breaks. Teachers say the calendar helps keep kids learning and more importantly safe. They say the schedule change excited parents and students ten years ago and remains reason for excitement today.

Principal Ann Rundall tell us students from lower socio-economic classes see the biggest advantage from year round education.
