Forsyth County Back to School 2014 It is hard to believe, that the start of the 2014-2015 school year is just around the corner!! But it’s true. It’s time to start thinking about “Back to School” in Forsyth County Schools – or time to at least start putting dates on your calendar! Make sure your calendar is marked with these important dates: Monday, August 4th – Middle School Open House (Check your school website for specific times) Tuesday, August 5th – Elementary School Open House (Check your school website for specific times) High Schools – Check your school website for specific information Thursday, August 7th – First Day of School Important Note for Parents of a rising Kindergarten Student: Forsyth County Elementary Schools offer a Kindergarten Bus Round Up day. This is a great opportunity to ride the bus WITH your child, follow the bus route, and let your child get comfortable with only a few kids on board. The dates vary by school so either visit your school’s website or contact them by phone. If you are registered you should be contacted by the bus driver, but if this is important to you, you may want to get ahead of the game just in case by checking with your direct school.
