Students in the Mars Area School District won’t start school this fall until the week after Labor Day.
The delayed start date of Monday, Sept. 9 is due to the renovations at Mars Middle School, most of which will be done over the summer.
Mars students will still get a normal Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring break. The last day of school is expected to be June 10, but that could be pushed back if the district has to take any snow days.
