Hello parents,
This is James Evans with Rutherford County Schools, and we need your help spreading the word about two enrollment topics.
First, we are now accepting enrollments for any new students, including kindergarteners, that will begin in August 2026. If you have a new student or kindergartener, please enroll early now at www.rcschools.net/registration. It is important that we know the number of new students who are coming so we can plan for the number of teachers, sort schedules, and ensure we have resources in place, such as textbooks, materials, and other supplies.
Also, we need all parents to know that we are in the process of changing to a new student management database software. We currently use Skyward, which will remain active through May. We will continue using Skyward for online registration through the end of May, but then we will be switching to an improved platform, called Synergy.
There will be a transition period, and so during the month of June, we will not be accepting any registrations for new or existing students. Anyone who registers before June will automatically have their data moved to the new system. All parents will be sent more information in July to set up their new accounts and to verify information for their returning students. There’s nothing you need to do now, but we simply want to let you know the timeline for the transition so that everyone is aware, and then we will provide further instructions.
All you need to do now is to enroll any new students you may have joining us for the new school year. Otherwise, sit tight and we will send more information at a later date. Thanks for helping us spread the word, and thanks for all that you do.
