Florida's sales tax holiday for back to school items begins Friday, August 7, 2020 and ends Sunday, August 9, 2020.

The normal back-to-school rush is going to be different this year for many students due to the coronavirus pandemic. One item parents never had to think about before for back-to-school shopping is masks for their child.

This is the time that parents would normally be rushing to stores, searching for folders in specific colors, tubs of bleach wipes and boxes of pre-sharpened pencils. But many children won’t be going back to traditional classroom settings for some time because of the coronavirus pandemic.
