I hate to be the person who says this in early August, but summer vacation is almost over. Actually, for some Treasure Valley families, it is REALLY almost over.
The first local school district begins classes on Monday, August 10. Boise and West Ada students return just two days later.
That means the relaxed summer routine of staying up late, sleeping in and trying to remember what day of the week it is is about to be replaced by alarm clocks, packed lunches and a frantic search for the other shoe.
Even if your children do not go back for another week, your commute may change Monday morning when Nampa students return.
Traffic will increase again Wednesday when Boise and West Ada begin classes, followed by Kuna on Thursday. Then Caldwell and Vallivue will add another wave of school traffic the following Wednesday…
