Before you know it, you'll be back in the hallways, reconnecting with friends, meeting new teachers and getting ready for another great school year. We can't wait to see you on September 8! 💙💛

📚The first day of school is Tuesday, September 8! As we get closer to the start of a new school year, now is a great time for students and families to begin transitioning back to a school-centered routine.

Over the next few weeks, we encourage parents and guardians to gradually adjust students’ bedtimes and wake-up times to align with the schedule they’ll need once school begins. Getting back into a consistent routine can help students feel more rested, focused and ready to learn.
