Labor Day is traditionally considered the "unofficial" end of the summer holiday season, due to its placement late in the actual summer season and near the beginning of the school year. However, some school systems such as DeKalb School System in [[Georgia]] generally has Labor Day being a day off instead of the final day of Summer Vacation (the latter being placed around Mid-August).
