FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): It’s almost time for kids to “hit the books” again.

In-school registration for the 2016-17 school year for Fort Wayne Community Schools (FWCS) will be held Friday, July 29th and Monday, August 1st at all 48 of the district’s elementary, middle and high schools. Parents can visit their child’s school from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Friday or from 12p.m.-7 p.m. Monday to get ready for the new school year.

Families who took advantage of the online pre-registration between June 20th and July 27th will be able to access the Rapid Registration line to get through in-school registration faster. In-school registration is still required to process address verification, as well as provide student IDs, PTA sign-up, yearbook and PE uniform orders and other services that are not yet available online.

Families who are new to the district are asked to go to the new Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Center, 230 E. Douglas Ave., to register.

The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 15.
