Murfreesboro City Schools registration is officially underway, and missing these critical deadlines could impact your child’s placement for the upcoming school year. Tori Carr joins the show to break down the essential timeline for new students, rising kindergartners, and families requiring the Extended School Program (ESP). Whether you are a returning family or brand new to the city system, understanding the enrollment verification process is the first step toward a successful fall semester.

The discussion dives deep into the "Kindergarten Preview Days" and "Kinder Camp," designed to ease the transition for the youngest learners by familiarizing them with their future campuses. Carr also highlights the final application window for Pre-K and the importance of National Afterschool Professionals Week. With state testing beginning and administrative teams planning teacher assignments based on these numbers, timely registration is more than just paperwork—it’s a community-wide planning necessity.
