UPDATED:

We’ve endured heat waves and enjoyed pool days. Fourth of July fireworks feel like a distant memory. Summer camps are wrapping up. Now, the first days of school are around the corner.

August means back-to-school for a lot of students in Hampton Roads now that most divisions have moved start dates before the Labor Day holiday. So start rolling back bedtime and get those supplies ready (possibly with the help of this weekend’s sales tax-free holiday). The list includes the first day of school for each district.

Hampton: Aug. 26

Newport News: Aug. 26
