We may be in the middle of a summer heat wave, but it’s already time to start making plans to return to school.
And even with the effects of the pandemic, we have to prepare our students for the return to school.

National reports tell us that national absenteeism continues and the decline in grades in math and reading, mainly.
Teachers are busy getting their fall semester plans ready – and the first back-to-school sales are already hitting stores.

Most school districts in Southern California start classes up again in mid-to-late August.
