Lee County Students Head Back to School August 11

Summer break is almost over. Students across Lee County head back to class on Tuesday, August 11, according to the school district’s instructional calendar.

Teachers return the week of August 3 to get their classrooms ready. Then it is the kids’ turn the following Tuesday.

The School District of Lee County has a Back to School page on its website to help families start the year strong. You can find bell times, school supply lists and enrollment help at leeschools.net.

A little planning now goes a long way. Set bedtimes back a bit each night this week, label the backpacks, and do a practice run to the bus stop or car line before the big day.

Here’s to a great 2026-2027 school year, Fort Myers!
