back to school

Most kids in New Jersey are headed back to school before the unofficial end of summer.

Deciding which teacher your child belongs with in the new school year is an in-depth process, but that doesn't mean your child will like the teacher they receive.

With the opening of school fast approaching, many New Jersey kids will be moving from lower grades to higher ones, and in some cases to a different school. The change can be stressful for children and their parents.

When the kids head back to school in September, they'll be sharing desks, supplies, books, perhaps toys and, in turn, plenty of germs.

With the start of school only weeks away, back-to-school trends and sales are heating up.

The back-to-school season is just around the corner, and this year parents will be trimming their spending and evaluating what their children actually need before making purchases, according to a new survey.

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is again sounding the alarm on the issue of teen sleep deprivation in the Garden State.

Many parents are enjoying a "schedule-free" summer and are allowing their children to stay up late at night and sleep in in the morning. But now may be the time many sleep experts recommend parents start getting their youngsters back on a normal sleep schedule before school starts.

Your children have had plenty of time to drive you crazy and wear you down since school let out in June, but is it enough to make you wish for the quick arrival of school in September?

Jack and Mina's first day. We moved to Hillsborough so this school is brand new to them, which so many of us went through but always sucks. Not knowing a soul, worrying if you'll find anyone to be friends with, what will be different, etc.. I remember moving in the middle of a school year, which is the worst of the worst, from the Rahway system to the Clark system...
