Well here is the time of year either parent’s love or loathe. It’s back to school time.

I can honestly say I’m totally torn this year. My kids definitely are ready to go back to school for the structure, but I’m not ready to go back to work just yet. Ready or not….it’s here.

A few things for the back to school events in Salisbury this year: please make sure you have access to your student’s portal information. All bus cards and teacher assignments will be listed there. Bus cards will not be mailed this year. This is a change from last year.

Also, for those in the middle and high schools, laptops will be distributed during the first week of school. Please ensure all required paperwork is completed and sent in to school with your students. Laptop agreement forms and insurance information can be found online at www.tl2020.org under device rollout.

Students in grades kindergarten, six and nine will report to school Aug. 27 for an orientation day. The first day of school for all Salisbury Township students will be Aug. 28.
