First Day Of School 2022: Your Photos From Route 1 Corridor

MOUNT VERNON, VA — Students headed back to school at Fairfax County Public Schools Monday, and others will return in the coming days.

A tradition for some families is taking a photo on the first day of school each year and comparing them from kindergarten to 12th grade. We want to see your first day photos from schools in the Route 1 corridor (think Fort Hunt, Mount Vernon, Belle Haven, Hybla Valley and Groveton).

Send your photo submissions with your student's name, school and grade to Emily.Leayman@patch.com. Please only share photos you took. By sharing photos, you are giving Patch permission to publish your photos in our first day of school coverage.

We will share photos in this story as submissions come in.

Follow Patch for more coverage of schools throughout the school year, including student achievements, school closings, School Board actions, budget discussions and more.
