Today is the day for many of you, as 12 San Antonio-area school districts start their quest for knowledge with the beginning of a new school year.

Carrizo Springs ISD, Center Point ISD, D’Hanis ISD, Devine ISD, Leakey ISD, Natalia ISD, New Braunfels ISD, Northside ISD, Poteet ISD, Somerset ISD. Southwest ISD, Uvalde ISD all begin school on Monday, following the several that began the last few weeks.

KSAT Kids, a kid-friendly part of our website with news and free educational content, wants to wish the students in all our area schools good luck and to have a wonderful school year.

And while this school year may be a bit confusing because of the lack of clarification on a mask mandate, KSAT Kids has you covered. KSAT will continue to follow the latest and give you updates as we have them.

Parents, don’t abandon the tradition of taking first-day-of-school photos! KSAT Kids wants to see them! You can submit a photo to showoff and memorialize this special day below.
