Monday Essentials: School Starts This Week

Patch's quick take on the essential things to know, the most interesting things to do and best places to be this week.

Here's a handful of things to keep in mind for today.

    If you have an event you'd like us to consider for inclusion, be sure to add it to the events calendar. We check it often!
    • Check local traffic before heading off to work. Find a live traffic map here.
    • If you're filling up the tank for the work week, GasBuddy.com says you can find the cheapest gas in Encino at the Arco station at 18076 Ventura Blvd. at Lindley Avenue for $3.83 per gallon. In Tarzana, it's slightly cheaper at $3.81 per gallon at the Arco station at 6039 Reseda Blvd. at Oxnard Street.
    • Drivers, beware: School starts Tuesday for LAUSD students. Kids will be walking near schools again.
    • Weather this week will be warm, climbing gradually from an expected high of 83 degrees Monday to 90 degrees on Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
    • Don't forget you can post directly to Patch. Share news about your business, church, youth sports league and more on the Patch boards. Just click on the green "Post" button on the home page!
