It's exactly three weeks until the start of classes in the Hanover School Division. Assistant Superintendent Chris Gudziunas outlines the schedule for the start of school.

"The first day of classes is Wednesday, September 5th. Our teachers are back the day before on Tuesday, September 4th. But also on that day, that evening, we have a number of meet the teacher events that are being held at most of our schools."

Gudziunas suggests parents start restoring some routine into the lives of their children.

"It's a great idea that they slowly start to get back into those regular routines of getting up early and those kinds of things so that it doesn't become a big shock when they get back to school, those first few days back."

He notes for families who are planning their Christmas and spring breaks, the Christmas break begins Saturday, December 22nd and classes resume on Monday, January 7th while spring break runs from March 25th to 29th.

The Hanover School Division is anticipating enrollment of about 8,200 students this fall.
