As the calendar turned to August last week many parents were hit with the stark realization that school beings in a month, or less, in some cases.
To help smooth the transition from summer to the classroom, area schools in the coming weeks are hosting registration, open house and welcome back sessions for the rapidly approaching school year.
Here’s a look at those schedules at area schools:
