Greenville, South Carolina — As South Carolina enjoys the warm summer season, parents in several Upstate school districts are preparing for an early return to school, set for late July. This shift means families will soon need to begin shopping for school supplies and rearranging work schedules to accommodate new school drop-off and pick-up times.
