Back-to-school is almost here. Important information regarding student enrollment is below.

📅 Aug. 7: Two-hour orientation day
📅 Aug. 10: First full day of school

This year, Rutherford County Schools is launching Synergy, a new, more modern student information system that makes it easier to access grades, schedules and more.

➡️ Action required for all parents:
Beginning July 22–23, current families will receive an email to create a Synergy account and verify student information. New families can enroll starting July 22 at https://t.co/KwI2JPORzu.

📌 Tips to make enrollment easier: Start gathering documents now (proof of residence, birth certificate, health records, etc.) to make the process quick and easy.

We’re also introducing a new, unified communications platform—so everything from schools, teachers and programs will come through one place. That means we’re moving away from apps like Remind, Band and GroupMe to simplify communication for families.

📲 Download our new mobile app:
Android: https://t.co/paJVxZRAhZ
Apple: https://t.co/qDXSn0xgIy

We’re looking forward to a great year ahead. Enjoy the rest of your summer—we’ll see you soon.
