Back To School Fast Facts

It has been a beautiful summer. If you're like our team, you probably spent some time enjoying the sand and surf along The World's Most Famous Beach. Maybe you made some memories at some of the area's attractions and museums. There were parks to visit and springs to swim in. And we hope you enjoyed every minute of the summer sun and Florida fun that our area offers.

But if you have kiddos, then you may now be realizing that summer's end has snuck up on us all and the first day of school for students in Volusia and Flagler counties is looming. It's time for supply lists, uniform rules and zoning maps.

So, to make life a little simpler so you can get back to enjoying the last few days of summer break before the kids head off to class, we pulled together some key details you may need.

 Zoning

New to the area? Considering moving? Maybe you moved this summer. Market demand in the greater Daytona Beach area was high and homes were selling incredibly fast throughout the summer sales season. It has left many families scrambling to determine where their children will attend school this fall. And others who are still searching for their next home may find that school zones will affect their purchase decision.
