ATLANTA — Parents are perking up and kids are, well, hopefully excited too - this week marks the start of the school year for many districts around metro Atlanta.
Jefferson City School and Rome City Schools actually officially kicked things off on Friday with their first days of the year. Then the Butts County School System began today (July 31).
They'll be joined by more than a dozen more who go back on Tuesday, August 1, around metro Atlanta, with many more to follow the rest of the week.
