Many students across Long Island will be hitting the books again.

Tuesday marks the first day of school for thousands of students and teachers on the Island.

Some sixth-grade students at Robert Moses Middle School said they were nervous about entering a new school, but parents aren?t worried.

"I think the thing that comforts me is that North Babylon is the best school district,? says parent Scheralda Small. ?The teachers and the staff, they're so warm and friendly and they ease all of my anxieties.?
