As summer ends, students across various regions in the United States are preparing to return to school, with start dates varying widely. In the Borderland area of Texas, some districts have already welcomed students back, such as Clint Independent School District on July 22 and Ysleta Independent School District on July 29, while others are still distributing free school supplies. The Permian Basin schools will begin classes between August 12 and August 21, with Ector County ISD starting on August 12. In the South, students in Atlanta return on August 1, while some in New England won't head back until after Labor Day. Factors such as weather and agricultural schedules influence these varied start dates, reflecting regional differences in school calendars. In South Carolina's Midlands, numerous districts will begin classes from July 30 through August 8.
