Back-to-School Blues? Share Your Experience With Fellow Pat-Med Parents

Family Room blog is open for local parents to discuss the issues, or share their own tips for building strong families in town.

Summer is over, kids are back to school and chances are that downtime is needed to back up the family photos you’ve stored up on your phones over the summer.

But it’s not easy, sending your kids off to school. Many parents this week sent children to kindergarten for the first time, saw their pre-teen graduate to middle school hallways, or watched their high schooler beam over driving himself to school at last.

Our Patchogue Family Room hopes to be the place where parents can share their thoughts on issues like back-to-school, or to share any advice on building strong local families.
