School is back, and so is a familiar headache for families on Benbrook’s fast-growing south side: traffic.

A little friendly competition turned into $1,700 for Benbrook schools after local families and supporters cast more than 2,100 votes in a community contest organized by the Benbrook Youth Baseball and Softball Association.

As Fort Worth ISD prepares to welcome students back, district leaders are making time for more than schedules, classrooms, and first-day plans.

The first days of school bring new routines, and Western Hills Elementary is asking families to know where to go before afternoon dismissal begins.

The kids are back in class, and the Benbrook Public Library is settling back into its regular rhythm too.

Saturday morning at Cougar Corner meant another round of neighbors showing up for Western Hills students.

The first day of school can bring a few tears, and not all of them belong to the kids.

The wait is over. Benbrook Middle-High School welcomes students back Monday, Aug. 10, and families have a few important first-day reminders.

More than 1,000 local students are heading back to class a little more prepared thanks to a community effort that brought school supplies, health services, haircuts and clothing together under one roof.

Backpacks are packed, alarms are set, and Waverly Park Elementary is ready to welcome its Tigers back Monday. For families, knowing the first-day routine should make arrival and dismissal a little easier.
