School is back in session and routines change.
The first day of school for no matter what grade is a rite of passage experienced in Bluffton for decades.
LOTS OF PHOTOS AT BOTTOM OF STORY.
The Icon witnessed some sixth graders mistakenly trying to enter the elementary door - and then they realized their error.
At least one dog came to school, countless photos were snapped and most students arrived in well-thought-out first-day wardrobes.
Students arrived on foot, by car, bicycle, bus, skateboard and truck.
To experience this year's first day of school, please enjoy the photos below.
