When is your first day of school? The Cape Cod Times has you covered.
The first bell rings. Students rush to finish – or start – summer reading. Parents go back to school shopping and figure out this year’s carpool or bus routes. Teachers plan curriculum, put up bulletin boards and get ready for their new students. There’s about a month left of summer for most Cape Cod residents before school is back in session. Start dates vary based on each school or school district, so exactly how long do students and parents have left to prepare? Below is an alphabetical list of when private and public schools will be opening across the Cape and Islands.
