As we prepare to celebrate the start of a new school year, we again encourage School Boards across the Commonwealth to join the Virginia School Boards Association in celebrating as students are welcomed back. 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.
