I don't know why you felt the need to make this so hard. In 1.01, they were about to start a new school year (they were going to be Sophomores). Scott was bitten the night before. No school year starts in mid-January. And you don't go from Freshman to Sophomore over Winter Break. So where do you really get the January start date? Because the first ep is titled "Wolf Moon" and that's in January? I don't recall them specifically saying that Scott is bitten during Wolf Moon. It's just an episode title. They more likely started in the late Summer/early Fall like all other schools.

The first two seasons were their Sophomore year, essentially divided in half (no, it's not perfectly in half). Season 3, as Jeff Davis has stated, starts about 4 months after Season 2's conclusion, and the boys are now Juniors. So the Summer (roughly May-September) has passed between 2.12 and 3.01. And considering the episodes don't have an equal amount of time pass per episode (does any show? Not really), I'm willing forgive any slight inconsistancies about the timing of the full moon.
