Aurora Public Schools and Adams County School District students are back in the classroom Wednesday, taking the lead in schools opening for 2025-26 school year.
Following just behind, 10 other metro Denver school districts will welcome students back next week.
Aurora Public Schools shared several tips for students, parents and drivers as school goes back in session Wednesday.
They reminded students to stop, look and listen before crossing streets, use crosswalks, follow crossing signals and avoid distractions while crossing streets
For parents, APS recommended going over safe walking and biking routes with students and making sure they know where and how to cross safely.
APS told drivers to slow down in school zones and residential areas, watch for children, avoid distractions and pay attention as more kids will be heading to school.
