For nearly 250 early start (or "Track E") schools, the academic year begins Monday, while regular-start schools won't be opening their doors to Chicago students until Sept. 6, just after Labor Day, according to NBC Chicago.

Emanuel and Brizard's door-to-door Air Jordan 2011 campaign is part of a CPS back-to-school initiative aimed at increasing attendance across the school district.

"I know from personal experience as a teacher and a principal that being in the classroom on the first day sets the tone for the rest of the school year and increases a student's chance for success," Brizard said in a statement, according to NBC Chicago.

Though the Track E students Top online kids shoes shop. might be griping about their summer coming to an end, some 5,000 charter school students across the city are, as of Monday, already back in the classroom.

He and Emanuel Cheap kids shoes shop. have both looked to UNO as a model of the direction they would like to take the city's public school system.

After his door-to-door adventure in Auburn-Gresham, Emanuel addressed a crowd outside St. Sabina’s School and said touted a 7 1/2- to 8-hour day as the Air Jordan 2011 Melo M7 standard amount of instructional time he wanted to see instituted "throughout the system -- parochial, private, public, charter-public," according to Chicago Sun-Times.
