We know your kids would rather be splashing in the pool, but it's time to jump back into the books.

Tuesday was the first day of school for many students across the Southland, and we want to see photos of you and your loved ones heading to class.

Send us photos of your child's very first day of elementary school, your teen driving off to high school, your friend rolling out of bed to catch a lecture or your favorite teacher.

Here's how to send us your Instagram images:

• Follow KPCC on Instagram.
• Use the hashtag #FirstDayLA in your Instagram photo descriptions.

Here's how to send us your Twitter images:

• Use the hashtag #FirstDayLA when you tweet pics of heading back to school.

That's it. We'll find them from there. If you don't use Instagram or Twitter, email your photos to pix@kpcc.org and then check back on the site to see your photos.
