Forest Park Students Head Back to School
A roundup of area school calendars as students return to the classroom.
If your youngsters have been grumbling that they want just a bit more time to play outside, they might have a reason for their sour disposition: It's back to school time.
Classes in a number of schools that serve Forest Park students already have started. In others, students will be back later this week.
All students, of course, will have off what's described as the last day of summer: Labor Day, which is Sept. 3.
