We encourage you to post back-to-school messages and photos of your board or division welcoming students back to a new school year on your division’s social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), using the hashtag #BacktoSchoolVA.
Also, please email your photos to Office of Communications at communications@vsba.org to be featured on the VSBA Facebook page and Daily News.
