School begins in Palm Beach County on Monday, August 18, 2014!

I know… where did the summer go?  But, yes, here in Palm Beach palm beach county schools 2014 openingCounty we do begin earlier than other areas of the country.  

There is so much information available at the School District of Palm Beach County website and the information is available in Spanish, Creole, Portuguese, as well as English!

Here are some links that should help you with any questions you may have.

1. You can find your bus stop.  All you have to do is enter your home address, the name of the school and AM or PM pick up.

2.  You can access the calendar for holiday and other schedules.

3.  You can also contact the different departments for the school district.

4.   You can find the answers to all of your questions about when to register, what you need, school hours and more.

6. And finally, School Safety.  

Yes, the little ones will be out in numbers and not always focused on what’s around them.   Please read the tips provided for Safety, and go over it with your children.
 

Just a few tips:

* For safety, don’t have your child’s name on their clothing or backpacks.

* Coordinate with other parents or guardians to have an adult at the Bus Stop.

* If they are walking, have a path that you’ve gone over with them.  

* Stranger,danger may not always be the case.  Empower your children to let you know if they are not comfortable with certain individuals.

Have a safe and happy school year!

Hi Kathy: That is an early start for the students. I would think they finish earlier too compared to other schools? Great list of information for the students and the parents in in Palm Beach, Florida.

The neighborhood kids seem to be anxious to go back but their clocks are all messed up.  They hang out at the old stop 'til midnight but the bus never arrives.  Soon it will!

Kathy,

I have always felt that summer goes by too quickly, and now with schools starting earlier it must feel even faster for kids than it did for me, when school started after Labor Day...A

Gary- same here.  We have to pay attention to the buses and the school zones. 

Lenn- I remember in Houston, we started after Labor Day.  We also didn't have as many days off during the school year. 

Maria- I think they do!  They may be finished before Memorial Day. 

BARFF- me too.  Things change!

Donald- it will, but it also signals the return of the snowbirds after that. 

Kevin - oh that it too funny!

Kristin- I know.  I've already seen the back to school ads here. 

Scott- if you wantsummer, let me tell you, it's been brutally hot here. 

Alexandra- it was the same for me.  We started the Tuesday after Labor Day. 

Patty- I just can't believe it's time for school. 

Lou-I saw some school buses driving around.  Maybe they're running their routes. 

Shar- oh yes.   You get the bad weather and we get the snow birds

Kathy,

It seems like summers are just flying by.  It is just crazy how school is already upon us.  I don't feel it as much these days with "my Rachel"  being at UT, but I do recognize it with all my clients.

Yes, time to take notice and pay attention to our driving habits as the little ones don't often pay attention to cars and traffic.
