When do you consider the first day of school to be? (Specifically for preschoolers and early elementary).

Orientation day (9-11 come meet the teacher and see your classroom)
Or the next day when they’re officially “in” school without you usually for 2 hours max.

I’m just curious because I am of the opinion that first day of school is orientation day. That’s when they wear new clothes new shoes have “1st day pics” etc.
My neighbors chat is saying it’s the next day. And orientation doesn’t count. What

But don’t they have to wear uniform for orientation? So then new stuff is on orientation day. Which means first day is orientation day. I’m so confused 😂

Orientation is not the first day of school but it's the best time to take those pictures and it definitely counts for the picture as it's their first time dressing up in uniform, going to the school building, etc. Orientation usually starts later than the full day so you're not as sleepy and rushed.

Thank you that’s what I was saying to my neighbors!
If they’re wearing uniform anyway and taking all their new things in, it’s first day. Even if it is only for 2 hours. Very Happy
