For Whom The (School) Bells Toll: Students Return To Class This Week

All public primary schools in Walnut Creek resume classes on Wednesday, Aug. 28. Sleepy-eyed students and harried parents will be scrambling to adjust to new realities even as the warmth and light of summer persist well into fall. 

In case you missed them the first time, here is a list of stories on Walnut Creek Patch over the past month intended to help with back to school situations: 

A back to school shopping guide for a list of stores with sales and savings;

A list of must-have supplies for the new or returning student;

A look at the vaccination requirements for students;

Some healthy (and easy) lunches you can prepare for your student;

Ways to get the young scholar back on a early night, early morning sleep schedule.

I hope this helps ease the hectic mornings of the new school year at least a little. Whatever you do, don't forget the apple for the teacher.
