Durham Schools Kick Off Year-Round | Raleigh News

Durham Public Schools kick off their year-round calendar this week, with students returning July 20th—while traditional schedule students head back August 24th. As the community gears up for the new school year, a major supply drive called Tools4Schools is underway, arming teachers with essential classroom materials. Partnering with the Triangle Nonprofit and Volunteer Leadership Center and Durham County, the effort ensures no student starts the year without basic supplies. The Backpacks for Kids program is also distributing essential gear to families, turning community support into real classroom readiness. This coordinated push underscores Durham’s deep commitment to education—and the belief that investing in students builds a stronger future for all.
