The July edition of the In Touch Community Newsletter has arrived, and this month's issue includes our comprehensive 2026-2027 Back-to-School Guide to help families prepare for a successful start to the new school year.

Inside, you'll find important information on student registration, transportation, school start times, attendance zones, school meals, health requirements, athletics, volunteer opportunities, early learning, school safety, and much more. You'll also discover helpful mobile apps, communication tools, district news, and stories celebrating the incredible work happening across Sarasota County Schools.

Whether you're enrolling a student for the first time or returning for another year, we encourage every family to review the Back-to-School Guide before the first day of school on Monday, August 10.

The July In Touch Community Newsletter is available below. Families are also encouraged to visit our Back-to-School webpage at www.sarasotacountyschools.net/back2school for school supply lists, frequently asked questions, important forms, helpful resources, and the latest back-to-school updates throughout the summer.

We look forward to welcoming our students back for another outstanding school year!
