The Clayton County Board of Education has announced several key initiatives and events aimed at enhancing community engagement and support for students as the new school year approaches.
Starting June 9, the district will open new student registration, which will run until July 9. This initiative is crucial for families preparing for the 2025-2026 school year, as it covers all grade levels. Parents and guardians needing assistance with the registration process can visit designated satellite locations, including Forest Park High School and Northcutt Elementary School, where staff will be available to help with application completion and document uploading. These locations will operate from 8:30 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday, ensuring that families have ample opportunity to receive support.
