J. H. Hull Middle First Day of School

The first day at J. H. Hull Middle tends to move fast. Between finding lockers, navigating the campus, and switching classrooms for each subject, there's a lot to take in. Teachers spend most periods covering expectations and syllabi rather than starting new material. For students making the jump from elementary school, managing multiple teachers and class periods is the biggest adjustment - most settle in within the first week. First-day photos are still a tradition for many families, especially for incoming sixth graders.

Over the last 3 years, conditions on the first day of school have varied: in 2025 it was overcast with a high of 83°F and low of 63°F; in 2024 it was mainly clear with a high of 84°F and low of 61°F; and in 2023 there was rain with a high of 76°F and low of 68°F (1.70 of rain). Late August weather in this area can range from overcast marine layer mornings to warm, sunny afternoons, so it's worth checking the forecast the week before.

On August 20, sunrise is at 6:17 AM and sunset is at 7:35 PM. With school typically running from around 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, students will have full daylight for the entire school day - the sun is well up before the morning bell and stays light well past dismissal. Along the South Bay coast, a morning marine layer is common in late August but typically burns off by mid-morning.
