Two elementary schools in Chesterfield, Virginia, are back to school today, WWBT reported.
Bellwood and Falling Creek elementary school students attend classes year-round, according to the television station.
Bellwood is doing the full-year schedule for the second year, but this is the first for Falling Creek.
School officials have a good reason for students to attend classes all year round - to prevent the summer slide that many students experience while on break, WWBT reported.
Other districts around the country also have an early back to school start date. Thousands of students returned to class in metro Atlanta on Aug. 1, WSB reported.
