SAN ANTONIO — Lunch boxes, and backpacks and binders, oh my! It is that time of year again, when parents and students gear up for another year of learning.
And families with kids in school are not the only ones affected by the return to the classroom. Drivers and neighbors will have to deal with the return of school buses, school zones and traffic.
That's why KENS 5 has put together a handy guide of the start dates for the major school districts in the San Antonio area in the order in which they return. As usual, the various districts are spread out in their start dates between August 8 and August 23.
And check for other back to school resources and information on school shopping, healthy lunches, freebies for teachers and students and more!

Also, the best time to shop for supplies across Texas will be the Sales Tax Holiday weekend beginning this Friday through Sunday, Aug. 5-7.
- You won't pay taxes on school supplies or most clothing and footwear that cost up to $100.
- There's no limit on the number of items you can buy and the $99.99 limit is per item -- not per purchase.
- Many stores will have sales that weekend to help save even more money!
