Update: The original version of this story reported that school started on Tuesday. While teachers are required to report tomorrow, the first day of school for students in Wednesday, Sept. 7.

Previously: Parents across Highland Park and Mount Washington will on Wednesday resume the weekday morning ritual of packing lunch boxes and loading their youngsters onto school buses, as the 2011 LAUSD single track school year begins.

Patch wants to see your best "First Day" photos! Saying goodbye to your child on the first day of a long school year can be a somber experience, but it's also a shared one.

We'd love to get some photos taken on Wednesday's first day of school, but we don't mind photos culled from your old scrapbooks and photobuckets either.

We'll publish all the pictures here, with your photo credit, to create a community scrap book for Highland Park and Mount Washington's "First Day" of school.
