Back-to-school season is here across St. Clair and Sanilac counties, with students returning on staggered dates from mid-August through early September. Blue Water Middle College kicks off first today, while most Sanilac County schools start next Monday. Anchor Bay and Yale open the next day, and many St. Clair County schools, including Port Huron, Marysville, and East China, begin September 2nd. Several districts are easing in with half days, giving families time to adjust. Parents are urged to review orientation schedules, supply lists, and bus routes ahead of the first day.
