Got a little one going to school for the first time? Do you have a student preparing to load up the backpack and carry a lunch once again?

Share your photos on Shaker Heights Patch, an ideal space for online galleries!

Back-to-school season begins this week with Hathaway Brown School starting classes on Wednesday at the Upper School. Middle School and Primary School classes begin on Thursday.

Uploading photos to Patch is easy. You can either add them to this article or our Neighborhood Pics & Clips gallery, a running collection of images from all over Shaker Heights.

Just follow these instructions:

1. You have to be registered as a user to upload a photo or video on the site. It's easy and free to join. Simply click the 'join' button on our homepage.

2. At the top of this story's photo box, you'll see a button that says "Upload Photos & Videos." Click that and choose the photos you want to appear.

3. After they upload, leave a caption describing what's in the picture.

We wish you and your student a year of happy learning!
