Back to School: It's the First Day!

Back packs, lunch boxes and first day outfits: These Stewart Elementary students were prepared for the first day of school.

There are lots of nervous parents out there today. It's the first day of schools and whether it's kindergarten, a new middle school or the first day of high school, parents worry whether their child will make a smooth transition.

For most of the kids, the first day of school is exciting, even if it is a little scary. Fresh notebooks, new back packs and lunch boxes and the prospect of a new friend or seeing someone they missed all summer is usually the reward for the first day jitters.

Upload your first day photos here or post them to . We'd love to see how you and your child did on the first day of school!
