The 2021 U.S. back-to-school season is being defined by varying school opening dates, differences in mask mandates, a spectrum of approaches to in-person and at-home learning, and new expectations for a modern omnichannel shopping experience.

Key highlights from this discussion include:  

  • How the U.S. back-to-school season is playing out across different districts.
  • How mask mandates and virtual academy offerings can impact shopping behavior.
  • The new expectations on the modern omnichannel shopping experience.
