The Countdown is On!
The 2024-2025 school year kicks off on Thursday, September 5, 2024. That's right, mark your calendars, circle it, highlight it, do whatever you need to do to remember this glorious day (or maybe not so glorious, depending on your perspective).
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Summer's Over, Party's Over?
I know, I know. The thought of school starting is like a cold shower after a hot summer day. But hey, look on the bright side! No more endless "I'm bored" complaints, no more fighting over the remote, and maybe, just maybe, a little peace and quiet. Plus, think of all the fun school activities, field trips, and new friends your kid will make.
