The countdown has started and back-to-school sales are well underway here in Palm Beach County. So, whether you’re moving to the cities or suburbs of Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or even further north to West Palm Beach or Jupiter with school-age kids, know the new semester starts in weeks, not after Labor Day.  

In fact, Aug. 12, is the first day of school in The School District of Palm Beach County and most school districts in Florida, whether your student or students will attend a public elementary, middle or high school. Private and charter schools start a few days later.

Your Lang Realty broker helped you choose your new residence with the right schools in mind. So now as parents, not only do you have to enroll students in advance, but arrange for school bus transportation if your new residence isn’t within walking or biking distance or you don’t plan school drop-offs and pickups. Yes, schools here have plenty of bicycle racks, since the weather is always conducive!

Here’s important school need-to-know links:
