Last Date for Family Registration Day

Triad School District will hold the final day of family registration on Thursday, July 29th from 12:00-7:00 p.m. at Triad High School.  The families of all new students as well as returning students not yet registered should attend this registration.  Only the families of Pre-K students who have received notification of acceptance into the program should register on this date.  All families must bring the required residency documents to complete registration.  Families of returning students should bring the data base form(s) that were mailed to you in early June. Previewing the information in advance will help your family navigate through the process with ease.  Returning students who are not registered on July 29th will not be assigned to a classroom.  Families that are unable to register on this date will need to complete the registration process at their child’s individual building by scheduling an appointment with office personnel.  Students registering after July 29th will not be notified of their class assignments until the first day of pupil attendance.

Triad Community Schools recognizes the value and role that community service can play in the development of our students. It is our hope that students are not only allowed the opportunity to achieve impactful community results through our cooperative efforts with area organizations, but also afforded the opportunity to demonstrate the value of putting knowledge into action.
