The early Labor Day and traditional day-after, back-to-school day will bring students back to schools in Brewster, Carmel and Garrison school districts, while youngsters get an extra day or two of summer with Garrison and Putnam Valley schools opening on Wednesday, Sept. 3, and Haldane schools back on Sept. 4.

Commuters and other motorists should exercise added caution as school buses pick up and drop off students along roadways and other youngsters walk or ride bicycles to school.

All area school districts are in preparation mode with each holding Superintendent's Day meetings for staff, administration and faculty.

For those who are looking forward in the calendar, the first common school holiday in Putnam County public schools will be Rosh Hashana on Sept. 25 and 26.
