Rutherford County Schools are now taking registrations for the upcoming Parent Academy. Please note that parents must register in order to receive a free lunch at the event so that the district knows how much food is needed.
Parents can register now through Labor Day (Sept. 5). To register, simply go to the RCS website, www.rcschools.net and complete three short questions, or call (615) 893-5812.
