Fulton Schools Sets Back-To-School Pep Rally for July 31

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Fulton County Schools will host its fifth annual Back-to-School Pep Rally on July 31 in two locations at North Springs and Banneker high schools. "First Day Fulton" is the district's initiative for early registration during the summer.

"First Day Fulton" helps families get their students ready for school by offering early student registration, school supplies and a chance to learn more about various school departments and available support services and community programs. The event provides students and parents the resources necessary to begin school on the first day of learning.

Parents are encouraged to register their students in order to avoid long lines, or multiple visits to local schools in August to complete registrations. New students, students who have moved, homeless students and those who are transitioning to the next school level, should be registered prior to the first day of school. Students transitioning to the next grade do not have to register for the event. However, they are welcome to come to the event for free supplies and to take advantage of the community resources.

Parents and guardians can receive free food, prizes and school supplies as they register new students or students changing schools. Entertainment, community vendors and fun activities are also included. Parents will be asked to bring the last report card or student identification in order to receive school supplies and be eligible for prize drawings.

To enroll in Fulton County Schools, the student's parent or legal guardian must reside within the boundaries of the school system. More information about the enrollment process can be found online.
