School starts in about a month in metro Atlanta. Check the dates here.

July is almost here, and that means the first day of school is just around the corner for kids in metro Atlanta.

Most students in the area will head back to the classroom in the first week of August — but some will start back as early as July 31.

Some school districts are already preparing for the return. Henry County last week held its inaugural “Stuff the Bus” campaign to collect school supplies and other resources for educators and their students. The school district’s foundation will distribute donated supplies to new teachers during its Orientation for New Educators event in July.
