Back-to-School Community Day - Every school will host its own Back to School Community Day as the first approaches. School-based Community Day provides families with the opportunity to meet their student’s school staff, pick up free backpacks and supplies and learn about resources to help support a successful school year. Schools will reach out directly to their families to share more detailed information about their Community Day plans and schedule.
