SHARE: First Day of School Photos

Montclair Public Schools are back in session Thursday morning, meaning 6,000 students will be headed out the door—early.

Do you have a special first day of school tradition? Did you remember to pack all the supplies on the list and take a moment to write a special note to tuck in with the PB&J? Tell us in the comments below or email Sheley@patch.com.

And share your photos of those shiny shoes, brand new backpacks, and big smiles (or perhaps tears) with Patch. Upload them now—and best wishes for the 2012-2013 school year!
