ALEXANDRIA, VA — Students headed back to school at Alexandria City Public Schools Monday, and others will return in the coming days.

A tradition for some families is taking a photo on the first day of school each year and comparing them from kindergarten to 12th grade. We want to see your first day photos from schools in Alexandria.

Send your photo submissions with your student's name, school and grade to Emily.Leayman@patch.com. Please only share photos you took. By sharing photos, you are giving Patch permission to publish your photos in our first day of school coverage.
