District-wide parent-student orientation Friday

The St. Johns County School District announced to Historic City News that a district-wide orientation will be held on Friday, August 16th from 8:00 a.m. until noon. Orientation is an opportunity for students and parents to get a supply list, class schedules, and meet teachers.

While many schools have orientations on other dates and times, staff will be available at all schools on Friday. Parents are encouraged to call or visit their school’s website for any additional orientations scheduled.

The first day of class for the 2014 school year is Monday, August 19, 2013; parents should register their children for school as soon as possible. The purpose of early registration is to help reduce the number of students that need to be enrolled at the beginning of the school year and to help the district prepare for the appropriate number of teachers.

Parents may access information regarding registration requirements and their child’s attendance zone by visiting the school district website at www.stjohns.k12.fl.us and clicking on the “For Parents and Students” link.

Additional information on registration and school attendance zones may be obtained from the Student Services Office at 904-547-7598.
