Send Us Your Back-to-School Pictures

It's the first day of school for Barnstable Public Schools. 

It's also a great time to start a new tradition and we here at Barnstable-Hyannis Patch are asking you to help out by sending in your back-to-school photos.

Just take pictures of your students getting on the bus, dropping off their supplies, waving goodbye and so on and add them to the gallery or e-mail them to jennifer.simckowitz@patch.com. Make sure to let us know who is in the photo.

Also, we're open to other back-to-school photo ideas and videos too. If you're a teacher who is already back at school waiting for students next week, send us a photo of your classroom before and after the next batch of students arrive. If you're a parent and have a back-to-school photo from your school days, send it over.

We got things started with a back-to-school photo from our friends at , where students are already back hitting the books. To add a photo or video, just click on the "add a photo or video" tag underneath the photo on this screen.
