School Starts Sept. 3, But Note Important August Dates
The first day of classes may not be strictly the first day of the school year: All Wauwatosa schools have a variety of registration, orientation and just-plain-fun dates scheduled.
The first day of school for Wauwatosa Public Schools is Sept. 3, the day after Labor Day.
But every school in the district has some important dates this month for parents to take note of.
Each school has its own plan, on its own calendar, for collection of registration forms and fees, etc. – and some schools also have “meet and greet the teacher” times, photo sessions, and in a few cases fun get-togethers including two back-to-school picnics, an ice cream social and a popsicle social.

All are posted on the Wauwatosa School District web page for your school, and schools will contact parents with back to school information as well:
Here, though, is a rundown of back-to-school plans for each school. You can click on the name of the school to go to its district web page for more back-to-school info:
