The first day of school in Augusta is August 30 for grades 1-9, August 31 for all other students except pre-K, and September 5 for pre-K. Feel free to mark it on your calendar as one of the most dreaded days of the year for students and teachers — and feel free not to feel guilty about marking it as one of your favorites.
