If you have children of school age, you have most likely been out shopping for notebooks, crayons, backpacks and snacks for lunches. It’s a good time to reorganize or rethink your home’s most-used living areas to create inviting, designated spaces for homework and also to hide the extra clutter from school projects and sports activities.
Paragon Homes has a number of new home neighborhoods around Pittsburgh, and one thing they all share is location in premier public school districts. Here’s a roundup of school start dates and a little more about each district. We hope everyone has a great start to the school year!
