In preparation for the new academic year, the Richmond County School System is asking new families in the area to register their children for school as some programs have limited openings.
As the RCSS finishes preparing for the first day of school on Aug. 5 for elementary schools and Aug. 6 for middle, K8, magnet and high schools, the system is encouraging families to register their children into respective schools and programs ahead of time.
