When is the first day of school & how will that look?
For 1st – 5th graders, the first official day of school is MONDAY, August 7th. This is our registration day and we will be open between 7:30 am – 9:30 am. We ask that parents come to the school with their students and walk them to their classrooms. We will have people stationed throughout the building to assist you with where to go. Once you complete the paperwork that the teacher has, you are free to leave.
Registration is happening ONLINE again this year. We are strongly encouraging everyone to complete the “New Student Data Verification” when logging into the PRIMARY CUSTODIAL PARENT’S Skyward account. Please note, you CANNOT log into your student’s account to complete this step. You will also be asked to submit an updated Proof-of-Residence. This is required of every Rutherford County Schools student, every single year.

You can put money on your student’s account once you know their State Student ID. You may ask your student what that number is as they have to use it for many things during the day. If you need help locating it, please call the office at 615-904-6790 (press “0”).
Please see the following website to access the online meal pay program. This is a great program because you can set it to notify you when your student’s account goes below a certain amount. You can also see what meals your student is buying.
