When Does School Start?
Sorry kids to remind you of your worst nightmare during a summer of bliss, but your parents may want to get a jump on shopping for clothes and supplies.
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 29 is the first day back if you go to a Santa Cruz City School, which is kind of a bummer since the three-day Labor Day weekend is Sept. 3. It throws a monkey wrench into those last week holiday plans.
At least you'll know your teachers have it worse than you. They have workshops Aug. 27 and 28.
