Palos Back to School Guide 2018

PALOS, IL -- Believe it or not, summer break is already coming to an end! Here are some important details you'll need to know before classes resume later this month:

• Local school supply lists can be found on your school's website and at some retailers like Walmart and Target.
• District 118's annual Back to School Picnic will take place from 5-7 PM at Palos South on August 20th.
• Watch your speed! It's very important to drive carefully around young students waiting for the school bus, riding their bikes, and walking.

District 128 will be conducting a screening for all children residing within district boundaries who are three to five years of age on August 22nd.

• You're required by law to stop for a loading or unloading school bus with its flashers on. That law applies to all locations- streets, parking lots, highways, and private roads. The only instance where you aren't required to stop is on a four-lane highway when you're headed in the opposite direction.

Here's a list of area schools and their first days...

Be sure to double check on your schools website. Some groups of students, like high school freshman, may start earlier than others.
