It's The First Day of School! Share Your Photos With Patch

It’s been more than two months since they stepped foot inside a classroom, and now the time has come to take the next step in their academic careers.

(Cue horror music for students, celebration tunes for parents)

It’s the first day of school!

For Washington Township’s three elementary schools and middle school, the first bell of the year rings Wednesday morning, Sept. 2. West Morris Central High School students get an extra day and will hit the hallways on Thursday, Sept. 3.

So what does that mean? Pictures, of course!

We know you’re snapping photos of those smiles – and tears – so be sure to share them with us. Send your shots over to jason.koestenblatt@patch.com and we’ll make an awesome “first day of school” gallery.

Happy school year!
