As summer vacations (sadly) end, here’s one way to ease the Back To School craziness. The Pulse has compiled a list of critical dates for the 2023-2024 academic year throughout the Redwood City area to update your calendars so you can get back to the “fun” stuff, like clothes and school supply shopping. 

Returning to school also means increased traffic on residential roads, so watch out for all those extra bikes, buses and cars as you make your way to work, school, or your own drop-offs and adjust your commute times accordingly.

Here’s to a happy and healthy school year!
