The first day of school is getting closer. Real close in fact for some in the area. Dade County heads back to the classroom on August 7th. In Chattooga County, they go back to school this week. Friday is the first day of school there. Walker County also starts on August 7th while Catoosa County goes back the next day, August 8th.
Across the state line in Tennessee, Hamilton County and Marion County both get started on August 6th.
