Refer back to Volumes 2 and 3.

Best Day Ever, Ruby said this: "Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow!"

And in Volume 3, the tournament was going on and it was stated to be fall.

So, it seems that, in Remnant, the school year begins sometime toward the beginning of the year, there's a short break between the first and second semesters, and the second semester begins around fall.

Edit:

I'm taking a closer look at the concept art in the credits, and...

1. Bandit camp concept art - I noticed that they used Yang for the size comparison. At least, that silhouette looks a lot like Yang in her new outfit, particularly the hanging fabric by her legs.

2. Bandits concept art - Looks like that may not be the entire image. When it first shows up, at the very left, you can see "Shady Man" under "Belts + Armor". "Shady Man" is the name of the guy who was harassing Yang in Welcome to Haven. Not only that, but in the bottom of the image, we see three silhouettes, labeled "SH", "1", and "2", as in "Shady Man", "Bandit 01", and "Bandit 02".

This means the Shady Man really might be one of Raven's bandits like people have speculated. Oh gosh, then it means Raven might know Yang's in the area, and I doubt she'll be too pleased over it, not with how much she's tried to stay out of Yang's life. And once Yang finds out Weiss was taken, she'll have to make a detour to confront Raven, not doing so wouldn't be an option at that point. So I can see Yang bursting into the camp in the mid-season finale, driving her fist into Raven's masked face and saying "Hey Mom," before the screen goes black. Something like this anyway.
