It’s that time again – Back to School! And as always, it feels as though the school year is starting earlier and earlier. In fact, some counties start as early as Wednesday, August 1st and all Metro Atlanta schools will be back in session by Monday, August 6th.
If you’re a parent that means you need to gear up for school lunches, early morning drop-offs, and afternoon carpool. And if you’re kid-free, it’s time to plan for longer morning commute times and an earlier afternoon rush-hour. To help you prepare for your new routine, we’ve included the start dates for local Atlanta schools as well as links to the school calendars.
